The U.S. government denied a record percentage of applications for asylum in June, continuing the efforts of President Donald Trump’s administration to shift U.S. immigration courts in a pro-enforcement direction.
According to a report by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC), which obtained data via Freedom of Information Act requests, immigration judges denied 94 percent of asylum applications in June. Out of more than 14,000 applications considered in June, judges granted only 771, a statistic that the Washington Examiner described as an “all-time high.”
