BREAKING: The Supreme Court won't let the Trump administration enforce a ban on asylum for any immigrants who illegally cross the U.S.-Mexico border. https://t.co/hMJ1GGYdGc
The court’s order leaves in place lower court rulings that blocked Trump’s proclamation in November automatically denying asylum to people who enter the country from Mexico without going through official border crossings.
Trump said he was acting in response to caravans of migrants making their way to the border.
The administration had also complained that the nationwide order preventing the policy from taking effect was too broad. But the court also rejected the administration’s suggestion for narrowing it.
