The American Civil Liberties Union plans to sue President Biden for a new rule that limits asylum when daily encounters exceed 2,500. They are upset about this rule. The ACLU organization warned the Biden administration about a lawsuit over the new asylum ban. They believe this rule puts many lives in danger. President Biden made a proclamation to stop migrants from seeking asylum at the U.S. southern border. This means that people who cross the border illegally cannot ask for asylum. The government can quickly deport these migrants. The new rule will be in place as long as more than 2,500 migrants are caught daily. It will only be lifted if the number drops below 1,500 arrests per day.
