Yesterday, President Joe Biden signed an executive order that has drastic implications for people seeking asylum at the United States-Mexico border. 

The executive action restricts entrance into the U.S. between ports of entry to asylum-seekers, once a 7-consecutive-calendar-day average of 2,500 encounters or more has been reached. This effectively means that asylum-seekers would be currently unable to enter because daily crossings are currently higher than the listed figure in the executive order.
