  • 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.

  • 2021-00409 — Procedures for Asylum and Withholding of Removal; Credible Fear and Reasonable Fear Review
    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 1737
    Reading Time:about a minute or two

    The Department of Justice is making corrections to a final rule concerning credible fear determinations, which was originally published in the Federal Register on December 11, 2020. This rule impacts how claims for asylum and protection under specific international conventions are reviewed, moving these claims to streamlined proceedings conducted by immigration judges rather than under a different legal section. The corrections clarify specific regulatory instructions within the document. This correction takes effect on January 11, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The Department of Justice is fixing some rules about how they decide if people can stay in the U.S. because they are unsafe in their own country. They made sure to fix the instructions on how these decisions are made so everything is clear and fair.
