The federal government would charge people a fee when they request a credible fear interview, which is a process where asylum seekers demonstrate they face danger if returned to their home country. This would affect immigrants and asylum applicants who are trying to establish that they qualify for protection in the United States. The Department of Homeland Security would collect these fees to help cover the costs of conducting these interviews.
