Supplementary Information

On October 29, 2025, the Secretary of Homeland Security ratified the approval and issuance of the final rule titled ``Procedures for Asylum and Withholding of Removal; Credible Fear and Reasonable Fear Review,'' as well as the associated notice of proposed rulemaking. See 85 FR 80274 (Dec. 11, 2020); 85 FR 36264 (June 15, 2020). DHS is now publishing the ratification in the Federal Register out of an abundance of caution.
