A Judge Just Ruled Asylum Claims Must Be Accepted Anywhere Along Border
The White House announced earlier this month that migrants hoping to enter the U.S. could only claim asylum at certain points of entry, not just anywhere along the border. Critics accused President Trump of circumventing Congress and rights groups like the ACLU challenged the decision in court. The opponents have now won a short term victory.
Judge Jon S. Tigar of the United States District Court in San Francisco issued a temporary restraining order on Monday blocking the new rule. . .
President Trump has sounded off on the migrant caravan heading toward the U.S.-Mexico border, calling it an “invasion.” He sent about 5,000 troops to the border to prevent the caravan from entering the U.S.
.@CBP and @DeptofDefense appropriately responded by blocking the lanes, deploying additional personnel and seeking assistance from other law enforcement and federal assets. #CBP has reopened lanes for legitimate trade and travel. I want to thank them for their swift actions. pic.twitter.com/eJVVuAs0w6
