Immigrants who seek residency in the United States of America and crossed the border after July 16 are subject to the strictest asylum policy set by President Donald Trump's administration.

Under this new US immigrant asylum-seeking rule, immigrants who had not exerted intensive efforts to first find asylum from a different country aside from the US will not be accepted and will be immediately deported from the country.

According to a report released by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as of the moment, there are still no immigrants that had been deported under the new policy set by President Donald Trump's administration.

According to a spokesperson of ICE, Paige Hughes, there are immigrants who are already subject to deportation under the new policy but these immigrants are still in US detention sites inside the country not only because they don't have right to stay in the country but also their transportation details are still being processed to bring them back to their originating country.

There were no statements released by ICE on the reason they had not deported any illegal immigrants under the new US immigrant asylum-seeking rule. A former official of ICE had said that there may be some unclear points on the implementation of the new policy on where to deport the detained immigrants.

The deputy director of the American Civil Liberties Union's Immigrants' Rights Project, Lee Gelernt, had said that his group will be the representatives of the immigrants who are under the new rule.

Galernt had said that it is true that some immigrants are already subject to deportation and are being detained. Some of these immigrants had been in detention for more than 30 days.

The Department of Homeland Security did not released any statement on the matter regarding the delay of deportation of immigrants who had violated the new policy implemented under Trump's administration.

The immigrants who had failed to be accepted to stay in the US under the new policy are entitled to a "Withholding of removal" or the Convention Against Torture but these two include much harder and complicated requirements. Despite this possibility for immigrants who had been already subject to deportation, unqualified immigrants also fills ICE detention facilities.

The longer the immigrants subject to deportation stay under the roofs of the detention facilities of ICE, the faster and longer the US resources are being consumed by these people.

Despite the unexpected advertisement of the new policy's effectiveness on the selection of safe asylum searchers, there are still confusions as to its implementation among the departments who are enforcing it. The new policy was advertised to help the US reject unsafe immigrants from third countries such as those from El Salvador and Guatemala.

According to a spokesperson from DHS, regardless of the full and nationwide implementation of the new policy, there are still confusions on some parts of its application.

Even the high officials of the DHS are also confused on some of portions of the new US immigrant asylum-seeking rule's immediate execution.
