US Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman Marsha Espinosa said US asylum officials will conduct initial interviews for a small number of migrants over several days while they remain in the custody of border authorities. Interviews will take place over the phone, and migrants will have access to a legal advisor during the call, she said.
US President Joe Biden, a Democrat, has imposed new border restrictions in recent months as he battles a record number of migrants caught illegally crossing the border.

Donald Trump has also used rapid asylum checks to expedite cases, but these checks were conducted by US Customs and Border Protection officials and without the guarantee of legal representation.

Since March 2020, U.S. authorities have been able to quickly send migrants caught illegally crossing the border back to Mexico under a COVID-19 order known as Section 42. The order expires May 11, and the Biden administration is preparing for a possible increase in crossings after that.
Experimenting with faster asylum interviews "will serve as a basis for best practice" if the administration decides to apply the procedure more widely in the future, Espinoza said.
