New asylum restrictions will come into effect at midnight, according to White House

New executive actions to shut off access to asylum for migrants who cross the US-Mexico border illegally will come into effect at midnight, a presidential proclamation announced Tuesday.

In the proclamation, the president also outlined his administration’s justification for the significant move.

“Despite the strengthened consequences in place at our border through the Lawful Pathways rule and the related measures that have led to record returns and removals, encounter levels are exceeding our capacity to deliver those consequences in a timely manner due to the outdated laws and limited resources we have available,” the proclamation reads.

The president officially announced the moves Tuesday afternoon.
