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.
