The Biden administration canceled over 350,000 asylum cases, allowing migrants to stay in the United States indefinitely in a move that experts called “mass amnesty.”
Data reviewed in an investigation by the New York Post reveal that the Biden administration closed more than 350,000 asylum cases from migrants who were deemed to not be a threat to the country since 2022. The cases were “terminated without a decision on the merits of their asylum claim,” meaning that the migrants neither received nor were denied asylum in the United States.
Those whose cases were terminated are instead able to remain within the United States indefinitely despite not actually being granted asylum. Those with terminated cases also do not have to check in with authorities and are no longer in the legal system. A 2022 memo sent out by Kerry Doyle, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Principal Legal Advisor, instructed prosecutors to allow the cases to be dismissed, the report found.
“This is just a massive amnesty under the guise of prosecutorial discretion,” Andrew Arthur, a former immigration judge and current Resident Fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies explained. “You’re basically allowing people who don’t have a right to be in the United States to be here indefinitely.”
A whopping 77 percent of those who’ve applied for asylum have been allowed to stay in the country under Biden, the report also found, all while the current asylum backlog is more than 3.5 million.
