Both agreements are based on a "safe third country" provision of U.S. immigration law that allows officials to reroute asylum-seekers to countries that are not their own if the U.S. makes a determination that those nations can fairly hear their claims for humanitarian protection.

The Trump administration has launched a highly visible crackdown on illegal immigration — dramatically expanding ICE operations targeting those here illegally — but it has simultaneously moved to restrict legal immigration and benefits, with less fanfare.

@CBSNews What does this mean? Well, when deciding the "good moral character" of citizenship applicants, USCIS will weigh positive factors, like community involvement / education, but also negative factors, including acts that are "technically lawful," like "habitual" traffic infractions.

@CBSNews But the new USCIS policy says the "good moral character" review needs to be "more than a cursory mechanical review focused on the absence of wrongdoing," mandating "a holistic assessment of an alien's behavior, adherence to societal norms, and positive contributions . ".

@CBSNews For decades, the "good moral character" review has been satisfied if applicants don't have any of the criminal offenses or disqualifying conduct outlined in U.S. law. Those disqualifying factors range from violent crimes like murder and aggravated felonies to drug offenses.
