FILE - A group of people wait to be processed after crossing the border between Mexico and the United States as they seek asylum, Wednesday, April 17, 2024, near Jacumba, Calif. There were 128,900 encounters between ports of entry along the southwest border , down 30% from last April, according to CBP .

Around the same time, the U.S. was seeing record levels of border crossings amid rumors that the U.S. was going to shut down its legal entry program.A spike lends itself to a downturn naturally. That coincided with stronger Mexican enforcement to slow the flow of migrants early on so far this year.
The proposed rule would allow some asylum claim denials in a matter of days versus potentially years. It would apply to those denied a legal basis to remain in the United States based on risk to our national security or public safety.
