What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Refugees Using Legal Entry Safely Act" or "RULES Act," aims to change how asylum eligibility works under the Immigration and Nationality Act. It modifies the rules for applying for asylum at ports of entry. Specifically, it limits certain asylum applications to those occurring at a port of entry. The bill also includes a prohibition on the parole or release of individuals applying for asylum at a port of entry. Additionally, it changes how apprehension by or referral to the Secretary of Homeland Security affects eligibility.
