Biden DHS forcing asylum officers to work both weekend days as admin struggles to handle migrant surge
Fox News
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is mandating that asylum officers work both Saturday and Sunday as part of the effort to deal with a migrant surge.
"Developments emerging over the course of the day made clear that more resources are needed, and we must take immediate steps to increase the number of staff available on both Saturday and Sunday to meet the need," it says. Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.
"In order to ensure full operational readiness, I must now ask that all Asylum Division employees, with limited exception, work both Saturday and Sunday this weekend," Associate Director Ted Kim says. He can be reached at adam.shaw2@fox.com or on Twitter.
