ALAN GOMEZ:

We're not quite sure if, as we've learned with this president, they're willing to push the legal limits of what they can do in order to limit both legal and illegal immigration. The most high profile example of course, is the travel ban that was implemented shortly after the president took office in 2017. That was struck down twice by the courts but ultimately, the third version was upheld by the Supreme Court. So they're looking at that ruling and they're looking at the legal reasoning that they used in that final successful travel ban as something that they can use to try to either limit or completely halt asylum cases along the southern border in the name of national security.

If you remember, the president has talked about criminals, gang members and "Middle Easterners" mixed into this group. So it looks like they might try to use some sort of national security nexus as a reason to stop Asylum's at the border. We're expecting the administration to announce something around Tuesday what their plans are but as Secretary of Homeland Security Kierstead Nielson said during her own tour of the border yesterday, everything is on the table.
