The Department of Homeland Security said it has no plans to announce a crackdown on border crossings anytime soon, despite a report that said officials as early as Friday might start turning people away at the border before they can enter the country and claim asylum.

The Washington Post reported Wednesday that Central American asylum seekers who are unable to demonstrate a “reasonable fear” of persecution in Mexico might be refused entry into the U.S. on Friday under a pending plan called “Remain in Mexico.” Currently, asylum applicants are allowed to stay in the U.S. until their matter is heard by an immigration judge, but the Post said the tougher change could be introduced as early as Friday.
