Appeals court says Trump's asylum ban at the border is illegal
"The power by proclamation to temporarily suspend the entry of specified foreign individuals into the United States does not contain implicit authority to override the INA's mandatory process to summarily remove foreign individuals."
"We conclude that the INA's text, structure, and history make clear that in supplying power to suspend entry by Presidential proclamation, Congress did not intend to grant the Executive the expansive removal authority it asserts."
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled against President Trump's executive order that suspended asylum access at the southern border. The court found that immigration laws grant individuals the right to apply for asylum, which the president cannot override. The ruling emphasized that the Immigration and Nationality Act does not allow the president to create his own procedures for removing individuals or suspending their asylum rights. The White House stated that the administration may seek further review of the decision.
