As Trump blocks asylum seekers, Supreme Court to decide if US must review claims

The Supreme Court will decide whether the Trump administration's restrictions on asylum applications at U.S.-Mexico border ports of entry comply with federal law. The case centers on whether asylum seekers have a legal right to apply for refuge at official border crossings or whether the administration can effectively block those claims through executive policy. A ruling against the administration could limit its ability to control asylum flows at the southern border, while a decision upholding the restrictions would grant the executive branch broad authority over asylum processing. The outcome will determine how thousands of migrants are able to—or unable to—seek protection under U.S. law. The Court's decision comes as immigration enforcement has become a central focus of the Trump administration's agenda.
