Quick Summary

The US Supreme Court agreed on Friday to consider whether Donald Trump's executive order banning asylum applications at the US-Mexico border is legal. The Trump administration argues the ban is a necessary measure to address an influx of migrants caused by years-long processing times, while immigration attorneys from the ACLU and National Immigrant Justice Center argue the order unilaterally eviscerates legal protections meant to be applied on an individual basis. The reporting highlights the conflict between the executive branch's authority to decide who receives asylum and the federal law granting individuals the right to seek protection regardless of their mode of entry.
