Washington — Citing President Trump's extraordinary move to close the American asylum system, U.S. border agents have been instructed to summarily deport migrants crossing into the country illegally without allowing them to request legal protection, according to internal government documents and agency officials.Just hours after being sworn in, Mr. Trump invoked sweeping presidential authorities to bar the entry of migrants deemed to be participating in an 'invasion' of the U.S.
Those with criminal histories are subject to prosecution in the U.S. under a long-standing practice, the official said.Releases of migrants into the U.S. have been largely prohibited. The internal government documents say requests to release migrants with a court notice will need to be approved by Border Patrol headquarters and will only be considered in 'life-threatening' situations.
