PRESIDENT SUSPENDS AND LIMITS ENTRY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF CERTAIN NONCITIZENS

On June 5, 2024, President Joe Biden initiated a suspension and limitation of entry into the United States for certain noncitizens across the southern border.

The suspension and limitation on entry will not apply to:

          (i)    any noncitizen national of the United States;

          (ii)   any lawful permanent resident of the United States;

          (iii)  any unaccompanied child as defined in United States Code;

          (iv)  any noncitizen who is determined to be a victim of a severe form of trafficking

                  in persons;

          (v)    any noncitizen who has a valid visa or other lawful permission to seek entry or

                  admission into the United States or presents at a port of entry pursuant to a

                  pre-scheduled time and place.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will closely monitor the number of unauthorized noncitizens at the border. If DHS determines that there has been a 7-consecutive-calendar-day average of less than 1,500 encounters” of unauthorized noncitizens at the border, the order will be lifted fourteen days after that determination is announced.
