US EditionCourt Reaffirms Ruling Limiting Trump’s Asylum Ban at US, Mexico Border
U.S.-MEXICO BORDER, AUG 2 – The court upheld migrant protections under withholding of removal and torture prevention laws while allowing denial of asylum under the Trump proclamation, affecting thousands of border migrants.
- A group of three judges from the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit on Friday upheld a prior decision that restricts President Trump's asylum prohibition at the US-Mexico border.
- The ruling builds on a July judgment by U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss, who determined that the Trump-era ban was unlawful under the Immigration and Nationality Act and exceeded the scope of presidential power.
- The appellate panel narrowed Moss's decision, allowing continued use of some proclamation elements to bar certain migrants while maintaining mandatory protections like withholding of removal and Convention Against Torture safeguards.
- According to a Department of Homeland Security representative, the President quickly strengthened border security by utilizing all of the legal authorities granted by Congress, while opponents criticized the administration's tough border measures as excessively harsh.
- This ruling keeps the asylum ban a key legal and political flashpoint, with expedited proceedings set and briefs due by September 26 to clarify presidential powers over immigration policy.
