DOJ/EOIR RIN: 1125-AA46 Publication ID: Fall 2003 
Title: ●Asylum Claims Made by Aliens Arriving from Canada at Land-Border Ports-of-Entry 
Abstract: This proposed rule amends the rules governing removal proceedings and the review of the Department of Homeland Security determinations to implement the terms of a recently signed Safe Third Country Agreement between the United States and Canada. The terms of that Agreement provide that certain categories of aliens arriving from Canada at land border ports of entry or in transit from Canada will be returned to Canada for adjudication of their claims rather than having those claims heard in the United States. This proposed rule would establish the authority of immigration judges to apply this Agreement in removal proceedings and in reviewing negative determinations made by asylum officers.
