A new rule is set to impact asylum seekers in Texas. It allows USCIS officers to refer individuals directly to immigration court, bypassing an initial interview. This change has the potential to affect a significant number of people in the state.
Over 100,000 individuals in Texas may be impacted by this new rule. Further information on this development is available from Houston Public Media, providing more details on the implications of this change for asylum seekers in the area.
