US Supreme Court to review Trump asylum ban at Mexico border
The US Supreme Court agreed on Friday to hear a case on President Donald Trump’s executive order that bans asylum applications at the US‑Mexico border.
The US Supreme Court agreed on Friday to hear a case on President Donald Trump’s executive order that bans asylum applications at the US‑Mexico border. The Guardian reported that the administration is seeking to overturn lower‑court rulings that found the order illegal. The ban is described as a pillar of the president’s far‑reaching crackdown on immigration. The court’s review could determine whether the policy remains in force, affecting how asylum seekers are processed at the southern border. The outcome will follow earlier decisions that declared the ban unlawful.
Why it matters
The ruling could reshape U.S. asylum policy and impact thousands of migrants seeking protection at the border.
