President Trump on Monday requested new restrictions on asylum investors at the Mexican border — adding application fees and work permission restraints — and directed that claims in the currently clogged immigration courts be settled within six months.
Kevin McAleenan received a memo; the president took other measures to reshape the asylum laws, which usually is determined by Congress.
These constraints will not become effective immediately. Mr. Trump gave administration officials three months to draw up regulations that would carry out his orders. These policies would be a significant change in the Trump administration that would be considered severe.

President Donald Trump; his offspring Donald Jr., Eric and Ivanka; and his firms are suing two banks to block them from turning over financial records to congressional committees that have distributed subpoenas for the important information. It’s the second attempt in court that Trump has made this month to thwart the Democratic-led House of Representatives from examining his financial background.

Obama on Senate bill: It’s ‘not a health care bill’ It can’t do much to dispel the biggest cloud over his administration: Eventually, special counsel Robert Mueller will decide if Trump or his campaign aides have a case to answer on their alleged links with Russia, or whether the President obstructed justice in his firing of FBI Director James Comey. And more immediately, the President will likely have to answer more comprehensively how he plans to protect future elections from interference. Spicer could only cite a cybersecurity executive order and a commission on voter fraud Monday, when asked how Trump has responded to allegations of Russian meddling so far.
