New actions will bar migrants who cross our Southern border unlawfully from receiving asylum Biden taking action as Congressional Republicans put partisan politics ahead of national security, twice voting against toughest reforms in decades
Since his first day in office, President Biden has called on Congress to secure our border and address our broken immigration system. Over the past three years, while Congress has failed to act, the President has acted to secure our border. His Administration has deployed the most agents and officers ever to address the situation at the Southern border, seized record levels of illicit fentanyl at our ports of entry, and brought together world leaders on a framework to deal with changing migration patterns that are impacting the entire Western Hemisphere. Earlier this year, the President and his team reached a historic bipartisan agreement with Senate Democrats and Republicans to deliver the most consequential reforms of America’s immigration laws in decades. This agreement would have added critical border and immigration personnel, invested in technology to catch illegal fentanyl, delivered sweeping reforms to the asylum system, and provided emergency authority for the President to shut down the border when the system is overwhelmed. But Republicans in Congress chose to put partisan politics ahead of our national security, twice voting against the toughest and fairest set of reforms in decades. President Biden believes we must secure our border. That is why today, he announced executive actions to bar migrants who cross our Southern border unlawfully from receiving asylum. These actions will be in effect when high levels of encounters at the Southern Border exceed our ability to deliver timely consequences, as is the case today. They will make it easier for immigration officers to remove those without a lawful basis to remain and reduce the burden on our Border Patrol agents. But we must be clear: this cannot achieve the same results as Congressional action, and it does not provide the critical personnel and funding needed to further secure our Southern border. Congress still must act. The Biden-Harris Administration’s executive actions will: Bar Migrants Who Cross the Southern Border Unlawfully From Receiving Asylum

Today, the Biden-Harris Administration took decisive new action to strengthen border security, announcing a series of measures that restrict asylum eligibility, and significantly increase the consequences for those who enter without authorization across the southern border. These extraordinary steps, which will be in effect during times when high levels of encounters exceed our ability to deliver timely consequences, will make noncitizens who enter across the southern border ineligible for asylum with certain exceptions, raise the standard that is used to screen for certain protection claims, and speed up our ability to quickly remove those who do not qualify for protection.
These actions follow a series of steps that the Administration has taken over the past three years as it prepared for the end of the Title 42 public health Order, and since it was lifted last year, including surging personnel, infrastructure, and technology to the border, issuing the Circumvention of Lawful Pathways Rule, and referring record numbers of noncitizens into expedited removal. Over the past year, we have removed or returned more than three quarters of a million people, more than in any fiscal year since 2010. Despite these efforts, our outdated and broken immigration and asylum system, coupled with a lack of sufficient funding, make it impossible to quickly impose consequences on all noncitizens who cross irregularly and without a legal basis to remain in the United States.
The Administration has repeatedly called on Congress to provide the resources and legal authorities needed to secure our border. The measures announced today will better enable the Department to quickly remove individuals without a legal basis to remain in the United States, strengthening enforcement and change the calculus for those considering crossing our border irregularly. However, they are no substitute for Congressional action. We continue to call on Congress to provide the new tools and resources we have asked for to support the men and women on the frontlines.
President Biden issued a Presidential Proclamation to temporarily suspend the entry of noncitizens across the southern border. The Secretary of Homeland Security and the Attorney General also jointly issued an interim final rule that, consistent with the Proclamation, generally restricts asylum eligibility for those who irregularly enter across the southern border – including the Southwest land and the southern coastal borders. The rule also limits fear screenings to those who manifest a fear or express a desire to file for protection and heightens the screening standard for statutory withholding and claims under the Convention Against Torture. Taken together, these measures will significantly increase the speed and scope of consequences for those who cross our borders irregularly or who attempt to present themselves at Ports of Entry without authorization, allowing the Departments to more quickly remove individuals who do not establish a legal basis to remain in the United States. The restriction on asylum eligibility will be discontinued when encounters fall below certain levels but will come back into effect if encounters rise again.
The rule makes three key changes to current processing under Title 8 immigration authorities during periods of high border encounters:
Like the Proclamation, the rule provides for an end to these enhanced measures following a sustained reduction in southern border encounters. Specifically, these measures are in effect until 14 calendar days after there has been a 7-consecutive-calendar-day average of less than 1,500 encounters between the ports of entry. The measures would again go into effect, or continue, as appropriate, when there has been a 7-consecutive-calendar-day average of 2,500 encounters or more.
During periods of high encounters, the Proclamation will apply across the southern border. Lawful permanent residents, unaccompanied children, victims of a severe form of trafficking, and other noncitizens with a valid visa or other lawful permission to enter the United States are excepted from the Proclamation.
In addition, the suspension and limitation on entry and rule will not apply to noncitizens who use a Secretary-approved process—such as the CBP One mobile app—to enter the United States at a port of entry in a safe and orderly manner or pursue another lawful pathway.
Noncitizens who cross the southern border and who are not excepted from the Proclamation will be ineligible for asylum unless exceptionally compelling circumstances exist, including if the noncitizen demonstrates that they or a member of their family with whom they are traveling:
Noncitizens who are subject to the rule’s limitation on asylum eligibility and who manifest or express a fear of return to their country or country of removal, express a fear of persecution or torture or an intention to apply for asylum, but do not establish a reasonable probability of persecution or torture in the country of removal will be promptly removed.
Those ordered removed will be subject to at least a five-year bar to reentry and potential criminal prosecution.
The Proclamation and rule will significantly enhance the security of our border by increasing the Departments’ ability to impose swift consequences for individuals who cross the southern border irregularly and do not establish a legal basis to remain in the United States. Together, the Proclamation and rule make critical changes to how the Departments operate during times when encounters are at historically high levels—levels that, in the absence of these changes, undermine the government’s ability to process individuals through the expedited removal process. These changes will enable the Departments to quickly return those without a lawful basis to stay in the United States and thereby free up the asylum system for those with legitimate claims.
These extraordinary measures are a stop gap. Even with these measures in place, the Departments continue to lack the authorities and resources needed to adequately support the men and women on the frontlines. The Administration again calls on Congress to take up and pass the bipartisan reforms proposed in the Senate, which provide the new authorities, personnel, and resources that are needed to address the historic global migration that is impacting countries throughout the world, including our own. Until Congress does its part, we will continue to take any actions needed under current law and within existing resources to secure the border.
Gen. eisenhower's order of the day on june 6,1944 is among history's most inspiring military addresses. "the eyes of the world are upon you," read the order, given to troops ahead of the invasion..
In addition to overseeing plans for the D-Day invasion, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower also spent months writing a message to encourage troops at the outset of the invasion.
Eisenhower's Order of the Day , which he had begun writing in February 1944, started off with, "You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months.
"The eyes of the world are upon you," continued the order, copies of which were given to the 175,000 member expeditionary force on the eve of the invasion as they boarded ships, planes and otherwise prepared for combat, according to the National Archives .
"The hope and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you. In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other Fronts, you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world," it read.
Return to Normandy: On D-Day, they changed the world. 80 years later, an incredible journey takes them back.
Eisenhower also recorded a radio broadcast version and a message to be broadcast to those living in German-held Europe. It started off with “People of Western Europe! A landing has been made this morning on the coast of France …"
In this address, Eisenhower also instructed “patriots” outside of recognized resistance groups to continue "passive resistance," but he added, "do not needlessly endanger your lives; wait until I give you the signal to rise and strike the enemy," wrote Tim Rives , the deputy director and supervisory archivist of the Eisenhower Presidential Library in Abilene, Kansas.
SUPREME HEADQUARTERSALLIED EXPEDITIONARY FORCE
Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force!
You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hope and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you. In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other Fronts, you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world.
Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle-hardened. He will fight savagely.
But this is the year 1944! Much has happened since the Nazi triumphs of 1940-41. The United Nations have inflicted upon the Germans great defeats, in open battle, man-to-man. Our air offensive has seriously reduced their strength in the air and their capacity to wage war on the ground. Our Home Fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting men. The tide has turned! The free men of the world are marching together to Victory!
I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full Victory!
Good luck! And let us beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking.

Parents with children represent 40 percent of migrants who crossed the southern border this year. Now, they will be turned back within days, according to a memo obtained by The New York Times.
By Hamed Aleaziz and Miriam Jordan
Hamed Aleaziz covers the Department of Homeland Security and immigration policy. Miriam Jordan covers immigration from a grass-roots perspective. They reported from California.
A new border crackdown unveiled by the Biden administration this week is likely to disproportionately affect families, whose soaring numbers in the last decade have drastically changed the profile of the population crossing the southern border.
Family units have come to represent a substantial share of border crossers, accounting for about 40 percent of all migrants who have entered the United States this year. Families generally have been released into the country quickly because of legal constraints that prevent children from being detained for extended periods.
They then join the millions of undocumented people who stay in the United States indefinitely , under the radar of the U.S. authorities, as they wait for court dates years in the future.
But according to a memo issued by the Homeland Security Department and obtained by The New York Times, families will be returned to their home countries within days under President Biden’s new border policy, which temporarily closed the U.S.-Mexico border to most asylum seekers as of 12:01 a.m. Wednesday.
The implications of the new policy are enormous for families, who are some of the most vulnerable groups making the journey to the United States. Advocates warn that it could have dangerous repercussions, making parents more likely to separate from their children or send them alone to the border, because unaccompanied minors are exempt from the new policy.
The vast majority of families seeking asylum are from Central America and Mexico, which places them in a category described in the memo as “easily removable,” akin to single adults from those regions. The memo lays out how the authorities are to carry out the new policy.

Spencer horwitz (no. 16) expected to get 60/40 split at second, first base for toronto.
OAKLAND -- A subpar start to the 2024 campaign has created plenty of tough decisions for the Blue Jays. The latest one was designating Cavan Biggio for assignment in order to create room for Spencer Horwitz on the 26-man roster before Friday's 2-1 walk-off loss to the A's , a move intended to spark the team's scuffling offense.
Manager John Schneider and general manager Ross Atkins let Biggio know about the move on Thursday night. It was a "tough conversation," Schneider said, in which he and Atkins told Biggio that it was more about the team's roster construction than Biggio's capabilities as a big leaguer.
"He wasn't playing a whole lot," Schneider said. "And just us trying to take a different route with our roster and how we're trying to construct it, and the potential for a bit more offense with Spence.
"Again, nothing Cavan did wrong. We expressed that to him. He's been a really good Major League player for a number of years, and he's going to continue to be that."
Biggio was once part of the core group of prospects that represented a bright future for Toronto. But the other members of that group, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette, were seen as the headliners of the movement.
Despite taking on more of a reserve role with the club, Biggio was beloved in the Blue Jays' clubhouse and a solid contributor in his tenure. The 29-year-old was at his best in his first two big league seasons, batting .240 with a .798 OPS and a 116 OPS+ in 159 games from 2019-20, but his production dropped off in the years that followed.
Biggio slashed .200/.323/.291 across 44 games in 2024. He made his most starts at second base (23) and in right field (10), while also logging time at first, third and designated hitter.
Cutting Biggio isn't the only tough choice the Blue Jays have made lately, as they also optioned a struggling Erik Swanson to Triple-A Buffalo in late May.
"Knowing all the players that have been involved, they all understand why those decisions were made," Schneider said. "I think that you look up, and you are where you are, and you evaluate, 'OK, what have we been doing? Has it been working, has it not? Is it time to try something else?"
The Blue Jays, sitting three games below .500 and in fifth place in the AL East, are not where they would like to be at this point. Their underperforming offense has played a large role in their current situation, and the hope is that Horwitz can help them get going.
Toronto's No. 16 prospect according to MLB Pipeline, made his big league debut last year and appeared in 15 games across two stints in the Majors. Horwitz went 10-for-39 (.256) with two doubles, a homer and seven RBIs.
While the Blue Jays got off to a disappointing start, Horwitz put together a stellar two-plus months of 2024 for Buffalo, slashing .335/.456/.514 with 22 doubles, four homers and 38 RBIs in 57 games.
Schneider said the tentative plan is for Horwitz to split time 60/40 between second base and first base, with some games as the DH here and there. The left-handed-hitting Horwitz had good numbers against lefties in the Minors this year, but he'll get most of his starts against right-handers for now.
Before 2024, Horwitz had played just seven Minor League games at second base. This year, he's played 11 games there, and impressed his Buffalo coaches while making the transition to the middle infield.
"The words they used were 'pleasantly surprised' with his gameplay," Schneider said. "They put a very specific plan in place as to what they were working on every day. He performed well, and I think he's at the point with his bat where he can hit in the Major Leagues."
Horwitz has also tapped more into his power this season, which had been a lesser component of his game in years past. Part of that has come from having more confidence in what he does well, which he said has contributed to his strong start to 2024.
"If you hit a little bit of a rut or something doesn't go your way, like not making the team out of spring, sometimes you can question yourself," Horwitz said. "I think I kind of got my swagger back a little bit, and it's gone a long way."

WASHINGTON (TND) — Critics are getting a closer look at the executive order issued this week by President Biden to tighten security at the southern border thanks to an internal memo leak. The document highlights what some see as a crucial loophole.
The Washington Free Beacon got a copy of the memo giving implementation guidance to border security. The memo states all a noncitizen has to do to avoid removal from the U.S. is “express a fear or intention to apply for asylum.”
This "fear" or "intention to apply for asylum" can be expressed at any point in the process.
The memo also instructs signs be installed, in multiple languages, all over the ICE facilities: at intake areas, dining rooms, medical units, housing units and law libraries. The signs inform noncitizens of the policy.
"The government is not supposed to give legal advice and it’s certainly not supposed to coach illegal aliens on how to evade the law," explained Lora Ries, the director of the Border Security and Immigration Center at the Heritage Foundation.
Some critics worry this loophole will lead to an abuse of the asylum system. Others argue the U.S. asylum policy must be protected.
“This country always has to make sure that people who are escaping political persecution have a place to come, that's what the asylum laws are for,” said Rep. Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla.
President Biden’s executive order comes just five months away from election day as immigration remains one of his biggest perceived political weak points.
