Immigrant rights activists are decrying the order as being inhumane and in violation of international law.
President Joe Biden signed an executive order on Tuesday that authorizes officials at the U.S.-Mexico border to immediately deport asylum seekers if they have entered the country in any manner other than through a legal port of entry — a move that will put thousands of people who are fleeing persecution in their home countries in jeopardy.. The restrictions can only be lifted when border crossings are reduced to 1,500 crossings across a certain number of days.
Migrant advocates have fiercely condemned the move, saying that Biden has repeatedly used migrants as political pawns to appease anti-immigrant voices on the right during an election year where the issue of immigration will feature prominently.— the same law former President Donald Trump, Biden’s Republican opponent in the 2024 election, relied on to enact his own racist immigration orders while in office.
Silky Shah, executive director of the Detention Watch Network, condemned Biden for endangering the lives of migrants for political gain.
