Trump administration cancels asylum cases for deportation to third countries.

The Trump administration is working to void asylum claims of thousands of immigrants by seeking to deport them to third countries, bypassing judicial review. ICE attorneys are requesting immigration judges to toss out claims without a hearing, citing deportation agreements. As part of this effort, over 8,000 motions have been filed to cancel asylum claims. This move is seen as an attempt to restrict access to asylum, with lawyers arguing it targets individuals with valid claims, coercing them to withdraw their applications.
