The Trump administration is reportedly pushing to deport asylum seekers to countries other than their own, aiming to void thousands of active immigration court cases.
According to a CBS News report, the current U.S. administration has initiated a legal effort across the country to dismiss asylum applications from thousands of individuals with pending immigration court proceedings.
The approach involves arguing that these individuals can be removed to nations that are not their countries of origin.
Reuters could not immediately confirm the report.
