    EOIR Acting Director Sirce E. Owen issued Policy Memorandum 25-28, which sets forth EOIR's interpretation that current law allows immigration judges to reject ("pretermit") legally deficient asylum applications without a hearing. The memo indicates immigration judges "should take . . . all appropriate action to immediately resolve cases on their docket that do not have viable legal paths for relief or protection of removal," including through pretermission.
