US authorities have imposed a curfew on heads of families seeking asylum while they wait for initial checks after crossing the border.
Curfews were introduced in four cities in May as an alternative to detention, and have now been expanded to 13 more cities, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement said.
It is expected to be introduced in 40 by the end of September.
The curfew, which lasts from 23.00:5.00 p.m. to XNUMX:XNUMX a.m., remains in effect until the outcome of the screening, i.e. the interview with the asylum officers and possibly the appeal to the immigration judge.
Those who pass are generally allowed to pursue their cases in court without a curfew, while those who fail are subject to deportation.
