"The three-judge panel from the US Court of Appeals found that existing laws, namely the Immigration and Nationality Act, give people the right to apply for asylum at the border."
"The Proclamation and Guidance are thus unlawful to the extent that they circumvent the INA's removal procedures and cast aside federal laws affording individuals the right to apply and be considered for asylum."
"While the judges blocked Trump's order, it is unclear what its immediate impact will be, as the White House has signalled it plans to appeal."
An appeals court ruled that President Trump's ban on asylum applications is unlawful, affirming the right to apply for asylum at the border under the Immigration and Nationality Act. The court questioned the president's authority to unilaterally suspend asylum, stating that Congress did not intend to grant such expansive removal powers. The ruling blocked Trump's order, which was part of his immigration strategy for his 2024 campaign. The White House plans to appeal the decision, which has implications for millions of migrants facing persecution.
