The "NewsHour" has learned the order would shut down asylum requests when the number of daily encounters between ports of entry reaches 2,500. The border would then reopen only when that number falls to 1,500.
This effectively means that the border would be closed immediately, as current levels are above 2,500. Biden is expected to announce the measure at the White House on Tuesday. He will be joined by mayors of border cities who've been invited for the event.

But, instead of trains, the building will be a center for technology as part of Ford Motor's new Mobility Innovation District.
