President Donald Trump moved Friday to restrict asylum claims by people who illegally cross the U.S. border with Mexico, as he seeks to choke off migration from Latin America.
The new policy begins at 12:01 a.m. Saturday and covers anyone who crosses the southern border outside official entry points, said a Homeland Security official who briefed reporters on condition of anonymity.
