Plain-English summary
Asylum Integrity Act
This bill establishes under statute a framework for determining whether an asylum seeker has filed a frivolous application. Under this bill, an asylum application shall be considered frivolous if the application was knowingly filed and (1) includes a fabricated material element, (2) is premised on false or fabricated evidence, (3) was filed without regard to the merits of the claims, or (4) is clearly foreclosed by law.
(Currently, regulations provide for a similar, but not identical, framework for asylum applications filed on or after January 11, 2021.)
