Trump administration adds new restrictions on work permits for asylum-seekers

CBS, 27 Aug 2020
The Trump administration is implementing a new rule requiring asylum-seekers to wait 365 days before applying for a work permit, instead of the previous 150-day timeline. It also disqualifies them from work permits if they crossed the border illegally. CBS News immigration reporter Camilo Montoya-Galvez spoke to CBSN's Lana Zak about rule change, as well as the administrations rejection of all new initial DACA applications.
