 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

This joint resolution nullifies the final rule issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and the Executive Office for Immigration Review titled Circumvention of Lawful Pathways and published on May 16, 2023. 

The final rule established a rebuttable presumption that a non-U.S. national (alien under federal law) entering the United States from Mexico without valid entry documents is ineligible for asylum if that individual had traveled through another country to reach the United States but did not apply for asylum or similar protection in that other country.
