This initiative is part of the Trump administration's broader efforts to limit asylum cases in the immigration system. Critics argue that while fraud exists, it is not as widespread as claimed, and the vague guidelines may deter attorneys from representing legitimate asylum seekers.

- ▪DHS General Counsel James Percival accused millions of illegal aliens of committing fraud in the immigration system.
- ▪Immigration attorney Victoria Slatton expressed concerns that the vague memo could discourage attorneys from taking legitimate asylum cases.
