Texas Sues Biden Administration Over New Asylum Rule and Phone App For Migrants
- Texas is suing the Biden administration over a newly-introduced asylum rule.
- The state argues that a phone app used by migrants to set up appointments at the border encourages illegal immigration.
- The app, called CBP One, allows migrants without proper documentation to make appointments to come to a port of entry and seek entry into the United States.
- Texas argues that the Biden administration is encouraging people to come to the U.S. even though they don’t have legal basis to stay.
- The lawsuit seeks to throw out the entire asylum rule, called the Circumvention of Lawful Pathways.
