The Circumvention of Lawful Pathways Rule Generally
In response to a proclamation by President Biden, the Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) and Department of Justice (“DOJ”) promulgated the so-called “circumvention of lawful pathways” (hereinafter “CLP”) rule, effective May 11, 2023. The rule created a presumption against asylum eligibility for many aliens entering the United States through the Southwestern Border (“SWB”). Please refer to CIL’s Guide to the CLP rule for more information on the general requirements.
