Supreme Court rules asylum seekers can be turned back at US border
The 6-3 ruling says migrants must cross into the United States before they can seek asylum, reviving a border policy used during surges.
- In a 6-3 decision on Thursday, the Supreme Court ruled that federal law does not require the government to process asylum claims from migrants barred from setting foot on United States soil at ports of entry.
- Known as 'metering,' the policy limiting daily asylum claims was used by Democratic and Republican administrations before the Biden administration rescinded it in 2021.
- The Justice Department attorney Vivek Suri argued before the Supreme Court that migrants cannot 'arrive in' the United States while standing in Mexico, contradicting a 2024 Circuit Court ruling.
- Lawyers for asylum seekers Mullin and Otro Lado challenged the practice, arguing that 'vulnerable families, children, and adults fleeing persecution were stranded in perilous conditions where they faced violent assault, kidnapping, and death.'
- The Trump administration views metering as a 'critical tool' for addressing border surges, positioning Border Protection to potentially reinstate the practice following the Supreme Court's decision.
