US Says it Will Start Processing Certain Asylum Seekers on Friday

The Biden administration will begin processing cases of certain eligible asylum seekers starting on Friday, the White House said in a statement on Tuesday as the Biden administration seeks to end the Trump-era Migrant Protection Protocols program.

"Individuals should not take any action at this time and should remain where they are to await further instructions.

We will soon announce a virtual registration process that will be accessible from any location," the statement said.
