Closing Loopholes and Ending Asylum Abuse Act of 2022

Sponsored By: Representative Crenshaw, Dan [R-TX-2]

Unknown

Summary

Closing Loopholes and Ending Asylum Abuse Act of 2022 This bill imposes restrictions on noncitizens (aliens under federal law) applying for asylum, authorizes asylum seekers to apply for asylum abroad, and requires applicants to apply abroad in certain instances. For example, the bill requires a refugee's persecution or well-founded fear of persecution to stem from a government (or affiliated entity), whereas currently the persecution does not have to stem from a government. The bill also requires an applicant who passes through another country with a U.S. diplomatic mission that processes asylum claims to apply for asylum while physically in that country.
