  • 2021-01683 — Security Bars and Processing; Delay of Effective Date
    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 6847
    Reading Time:about 5 minutes

    In January 2021, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) decided to delay the effective date of a rule concerning the eligibility for asylum and withholding of removal due to potential security risks relating to public health emergencies. This delay, lasting 60 days from January 21 to March 22, 2021, came after a memorandum from the White House Chief of Staff suggested pausing pending regulations for review. The delay was also necessary because of a preliminary court injunction against a related rule that could affect the implementation of this new rule.

    Simple Explanation

    The government decided to wait a little longer before starting a new rule about who can ask to stay safely in the country because they want to make sure it's safe and fair for everyone. They are also checking some other related rules in the meantime to make sure everything works together nicely.

    The Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice have announced a further delay in the implementation of the "Security Bars" final rule until December 31, 2025. This rule was originally intended to define certain public health concerns as threats to U.S. security, affecting asylum eligibility. The delay is due to potential conflicts with other existing regulations and the absence of current public health conditions that would activate the rule. The departments are seeking public comments on the postponement, but not on the potential modification or cancellation of the rule.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. government is waiting until 2025 to decide if it will follow a plan that could change who can ask for safety in America during health emergencies, and they want to hear what people think about waiting.
