US Shuts Down Asylum Program: Doors Completely Closed

The US administration has announced that it is completely halting asylum acceptances, citing recent court decisions. In a statement from the White House, it was emphasized that the US is now closed to asylum seekers, and that they should be directed to other countries for acceptance. White House Senior Policy Advisor Stephen Miller stated that the majority of asylum applications at the border are 'fake' or based on economic expectations. Miller said, 'America's doors are completely closed to asylum seekers.' According to US officials, asylum seekers should turn to other countries that can accept them. The recent US Supreme Court decision affects migrants from about 17 countries, including Syria and Haiti.
