The US Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the Trump Administration to limit asylum policies in the country. International ports of entry will no longer be considered pathways for migrants to apply for asylum.
Background
The policy, which was used during former President Barack Obama and President Trump’s first term, limited the number of people who could apply for asylum daily. The justices voted 6-3 to overturn a lower court order blocking this practice.
The ruling is expected to impact the number of illegal immigrants who can apply for asylum in the US. The Department of Homeland Security, the White House, and other organizations have been contacted for comment.
