A federal judge ruled that Donald Trump's suspension of asylum access at the southern border was unlawful, creating uncertainty about a critical aspect of his immigration policy. The ruling is on hold for two weeks to allow the government to appeal. The judge noted that the Constitution and immigration law do not permit the president to repatriate or remove individuals without allowing asylum applications. In June, illegal border crossings decreased, with arrests made by Border Patrol significantly dropping compared to previous months.
The situation at the southern border constitutes an invasion of America, and Trump suspended the physical entry of migrants and their ability to seek asylum until he decides it is over.
U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss stated his order blocking Trump's policy will take effect July 16, giving the Trump administration time to appeal.
Neither the Constitution nor immigration law gives the president an extra-statutory, extra-regulatory regime for repatriating or removing individuals from the United States without an opportunity to apply for asylum.
Illegal border crossings have plummeted, with Border Patrol making 6,070 arrests in June, down 30% from May, marking the lowest annual clip since 1966.
