WASHINGTON (AP) — In a story published February 26, 2024, The Associated Press reported that U.S. policy allows for migrants to claim asylum regardless of how they arrive. The story should have made clear that under a recent Biden administration rule, many are presumed ineligible for asylum if they arrive illegally between ports. It depends on circumstances of their arrival including whether they are single adults or families.
