The Supreme Court is allowing a new Trump administration rule on asylum seekers to be enforced nationwide, while it is challenged in the courts. The rule bans migrants from seeking asylum in the United States if they have traveled through another country without having sought protection there.
The Supreme Court late Wednesday (pdf) ordered that all injunctions against the asylum rule be dropped nationwide. The move allows the Trump administration policy to take effect across the entire U.S.-Mexico border, while litigation against it continues.
