Makes perfect sense.
The Trump administration is actively pursuing a new immigration strategy where courts are being asked to dismiss asylum claims without hearings, and instead direct asylum seekers to third countries to pursue relief. This approach is backed by agreements with nations like Uganda, Honduras, and Ecuador...
Naturally, the screeching is at Eleventy, saying that this "undermines" the US asylum system. That makes no sense, which should not be a surprise to anyone.
...A senior administration official, speaking to the media, emphasized that asylum is not meant as a means for migrants supposedly in need of safe harbor to pick out a new homeland of their choice, stating, “Asylum was not designed to provide people a backdoor way to get to a country of their choosing.”...
I hear that Honduras is a great spot this time of year.
