Migrants from Mexico sit in a van be transported in Jacumba Hot Springs, California, on Tuesday, June 4, 2024. The Biden administration is quickly invoking an authority to shut off access to asylum for migrants who cross the US-Mexico border illegally, a significant attempt by President Joe Biden to address head on one of his biggest political vulnerabilities.
