Plain-English summary
Asylum Seeker Protection Act
This bill prohibits the use of funds to implement or enforce the Migrant Protection Protocols announced on December 20, 2018.
(The protocol generally requires that aliens who are not clearly admissible arriving by land along the U.S.-Mexico border be returned to Mexico while their immigration proceedings are pending, rather than remain in the United States. The protocol applies to aliens seeking asylum but who have been assessed not to be more likely than not to face persecution or torture in Mexico.)
