The suspension and limitation on entry went into effect on June 5, 2024. In addition, the Departments ofHomeland Security (DHS) and Justice (DOJ) promulgated an interim final rule (IFR) that also went into effect on June 5, 2024, restricting asylum eligibility at the southern border. This Legal Sidebar provides a background on the statutory authorities to limit entry into the United States and to place limitations and conditions on asylum eligibility. The Sidebar also provides a summary and analysis of the June 2024 Proclamation and IFR, comparing the Administration's latest efforts with similar executive actions taken by prior Administrations. Background Statutory Authorities Restricting Entry into the United States Section 1182(f) of Title 8 of the US. Code-known colloquially as 212(f) after the corresponding section in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA)-vests the President with authority to suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States. Various presidential Administrations, including the Biden Administration, have invoked this authority in diverse contexts, including the 2017 suspension on the entry of nationals of eight foreign states whose systems for managing and sharing information about their nationals the President deemed inadequate (commonly referred to as the Travel Ban) and the suspension on entry of certain foreign nationals arriving to the United States by air from specific countries during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Supreme Court has determined that Section 1182(f)'s plain language conveys broad authority to the President to suspend the entry of aliens into the United States.
