The Supreme Court backed the Trump administration’s bid to strengthen its ability to regulate the entry of asylum seekers at the U.S.-Mexico border.
The ruling opens the path for the Trump administration to deport hundreds of thousands of immigrants who have been living in the US for years. By a 6-3 vote, the high court ruled that federal law allows the government to stop asylum seekers from physically setting foot in the United States, effectively keeping them from applying for asylum. The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled 6-3 along ideological lines that the government may legally turn back asylum seekers who are attempting to reach a port of entry before they hit U.S. soil, greenlighting a now-rescinded immigration policy that the Trump administration wants the right to potentially revive.
