As a human rights lawyer who has done extensive immigration work, let me make something absolutely clear.
Asylum is legal immigration.
There's no "port of entry" requirement.
There's no "visa" requirement.
There's no "first country" requirement.
You enter the United States, and you apply for asylum.
Because asylum is legal immigration. Period.
Period.

Moments ago at a Congressional Gold Medal ceremony for Jan. 6 police, the reward recipients refused to shake hands with Republican leaders Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy.
I could watch this 1000 times on repeat!
