The Trump administration adopted a rule taking effect Wednesday that cuts the time refugees have to respond to a proposed termination of their legal status from 30 days to 10 days, Fox News reported. The policy was issued without the usual advance notice-and-comment process.

The administration said the change is intended to address potential risks involving people admitted as refugees who were not eligible for that status. Fox News reported that the documents cited refugees admitted during the Biden administration, though the excerpt did not provide further details. The new deadline applies when refugees receive notice that the government intends to end their status.
