This bill dramatically raises the bar for asylum seekers, making it much harder to pass the initial "credible fear" screening and barring people with felony convictions, prior deportations, or certain inadmissibility grounds from asylum entirely. It also allows the government to detain families—including children—for the full length of their immigration cases, overriding the Flores settlement agreement that previously limited how long kids could be held. People from Central American countries with new refugee processing centers would be barred from applying for asylum at the U.S. border altogether.
