A new policy from the Trump administration directs immigration judges to quickly deny asylum applications that appear unlikely to succeed, bypassing the lengthy hearing process that typically takes years. This directive, issued by the Justice Department, allows judges to dismiss cases without hearings, potentially preventing migrants from presenting their cases. The policy aims to manage the backlog of nearly four million cases but raises concerns regarding immigrants' rights. As a result, judges may issue deportation orders before fully considering the merits of asylum claims, radically altering the immigration adjudication process.
