US judge blocks Trump asylum ban at US-Mexico border, says he exceeded authority
- On July 16, a federal judge in Washington, Randolph Moss, will implement a decision halting President Trump's ban on asylum at the southern border.
- The ruling follows Trump's January 20 proclamation that declared the border situation an invasion and suspended migrants' ability to seek asylum, which sparked legal challenges.
- Judge Moss determined that the president does not have the authority under the Constitution or immigration statutes to remove individuals without allowing them a chance to seek asylum, rejecting the government's claim that labeling the situation an invasion is a political matter beyond judicial review.
- The White House announced that in June, Border Patrol apprehensions totaled 6,070, representing a 30% drop from May and the slowest monthly rate since 1966, following stricter enforcement actions by Mexico and new asylum policies implemented by the Biden administration.
- This decision could undermine a key element of Trump's immigration crackdown and highlights legal limits on presidential authority over asylum protections guaranteed by Congress.
