Good news for US immigrants? Trump's asylum ban at border is illegal, says appeals court
Mint·2h ago·Neutral
What Happened
A US appeals court blocked President Trump's executive order suspending asylum access at the southern border Friday. The three-judge panel ruled that immigration law guarantees asylum application rights and presidents cannot override this through executive action. The court concluded Trump's order violates the Immigration and Nationality Act's mandatory procedures for processing asylum and anti-torture claims.
