US EditionAppeals court says Trump’s asylum ban at the border is illegal, agreeing with lower court
The 2-1 ruling said immigration law gives border crossers the right to apply for asylum and sent the dispute toward the Supreme Court.
- A divided federal appeals court rejected President Donald Trump's effort to unilaterally bar migrants who cross the US-Mexico border from seeking asylum, blocking a key pillar of his Republican immigration agenda.
- The executive order, issued on Trump's first day in office, sought to end asylum access, but the panel concluded the Nationality Act does not authorize the president to remove plaintiffs under "procedures of his own making."
- Judge Michelle Childs, appointed by Democratic President Joe Biden, wrote the majority decision, joined by Judge Nina Pillard, while Judge Justin Walker, a Trump appointee, wrote a partial dissent favoring limited asylum restrictions.
- ACLU attorney Lee Gelernt said the appellate ruling is "essential for those fleeing danger who have been denied even a hearing to present asylum claims under the Trump administration."
- The rejection tees up a likely showdown at the Supreme Court, where the government must decide whether to appeal the Columbia Circuit finding that immigration laws guarantee asylum rights.
