Supreme Court Allows Trump to Block Asylum Seekers at Border
The Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration may block asylum seekers at the U.S. border, interpreting the term “arrive” to include crossing the border. The policy of turning back asylum seekers, which had been rescinded in 2021, could therefore be reinstated as a tool for border control. The decision has significant implications for immigration enforcement and the legal definition of entry into the United States.
