Under the proposal, asylum would generally be denied to migrants who show up at the U.S. southern border without first seeking protection in a country they passed through.
Meanwhile critics of the administration's planned restriction have compared it to a "transit ban" that was implemented by Trump to prevent granting asylum to migrants who had traveled through other countries to reach the U.S.
Shortly after the administration first announced it was considering proposing such a rule, in January, nearly 300 civil, immigrant and humanitarian rights organizations wrote a joint letter to Biden urging him to abandon his plans. Democratic lawmakers also denounced the proposal. Sens. Bob Menendez and Cory Booker of New Jersey, Ben Ray Luján of New Mexico and Alex Padilla of California issued a joint statement on Tuesday urging the president and Secretary Mayorkas to "reverse course."
