Usually talkative Trump silent on asylum changes
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Donald has been unusually quiet about his administration's efforts to overhaul the asylum system.
Under new rules announced last week, migrants will be barred from claiming asylum if they have traveled through Mexico from another country. It's the kind of kind of thing Trump might have been expected to promote on Twitter and brandish in front of news cameras. But he hasn't mentioned it yet.
It is, arguably, the most sweeping step the Trump administration has taken to try to stop the flow of migrants at the border - and the kind of thing the president might have been expected to promote on Twitter and brandish in front of news cameras.
Trump has yet to tweet about the effort or discuss it publicly, even when prompted.
