JOEL ROSE, BYLINE: These new rules that took effect in May make it harder for migrants to get asylum if they don't use that app and if they cross the border illegally, after passing through Mexico or another country without seeking protection there first.įADEL: All this was done through regulations rather than laws, and the judge says that's the problem. INSKEEP: NPR's Joel Rose describes a carrot and stick, as they say - an app to apply for legal entry more easily and a warning against illegal entry. That didn't happen, partly because the administration replaced those restrictions with new ones. Pandemic restrictions expired amid widespread panic that a rush of people would illegally cross over.
