Conservative residents of California are now permitted to seek asylum in Mississippi, according to officials familiar with the policy change.
The decision allows individuals who identify as conservative to pursue asylum in the southern state, although specific eligibility criteria have not been detailed.
Officials emphasized that the policy aims to provide options for Californians seeking different legal or political protections, but did not specify the number of applicants or the process involved.
Legal experts note that asylum policies are typically governed at the federal level, and state-level changes may be limited in scope. Further details are expected to be released in the coming weeks.
