The White House unveiled a sweeping set of executive actions Thursday aimed at reshaping immigration policy, including expanded pathways for asylum seekers and tougher enforcement at the southern border.
The moves represent the administration's most significant unilateral action on immigration in years and are expected to face immediate legal challenges from Republican-led states.
Among the key provisions are changes to how asylum claims are processed at ports of entry, new guidance for immigration judges, and increased resources for border processing facilities.
