    The envisioned changes would make it much harder for officials to end the partial asylum ban by tweaking the threshold at which it would be deactivated.

    . . .

    Under the changes, however, the asylum restrictions would only deactivate if the seven-day average stays below 1,500 for 28 days. It would also include more migrants in the deactivation trigger's calculations. Currently, crossings by non-Mexican unaccompanied children are excluded. The updated calculations would include all unaccompanied children.

    Naturally the article goes on to accept all sorts of false premises about immigrants, refuses to examine the ways in which Biden and Trump have violated international law (beyond some token, detail-free quotations from the ACLU), and never once uses the word "refugee" or asks why people might want to flee their homes.
