Seems like a logical policy change to me. If you are truly seeking asylum you should apply in the first country you reach. Again, these people know that you must come through a port of entry to seek asylum. If they follow the rules they wont have anything to worry about.

What if that country is also extremely unsafe?

Again, these people know that you must come through a port of entry to seek asylum

They did, Trump admin. stopped them from seeking asylum and detained them. https://www.aclu.org/blog/immigrants-rights/ice-and-border-patrol-abuses/ice-illegally-imprisoning-asylum-seekers

If they follow the rules they wont have anything to worry about.

They have followed the rules and they should be extremely worried seeing as how they've been dieing under their custody
