Judge Halts Trump Asylum Ban at US Border

News summary

Federal Judge Randolph Moss has blocked President Donald Trump's attempt to categorically deny asylum to migrants crossing the US-Mexico border, ruling that the president exceeded his authority by bypassing both US law and international treaties, despite claims of a national border emergency. The judge stated that neither the Constitution nor the Immigration and Nationality Act allows the president to suspend the right to seek asylum or create an alternative immigration system. Immigrant advocacy groups, led by the ACLU, successfully challenged the move, and the ruling provides broad class protections to affected migrants. The decision is stayed for 14 days to allow the Trump administration to appeal. The ruling is a major setback for Trump's immigration crackdown, which had corresponded with a historic drop in illegal border crossings. Administration allies have condemned the ruling as judicial overreach, while supporters argue it upholds congressional authority over immigration.
