Supreme Court sides with Trump administration’s efforts to curb asylum claims at southern border

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that asylum seekers must cross into the United States to apply for asylum, rejecting the ability to process claims from those waiting at ports of entry on Mexico’s side. The decision, authored by Justice Samuel Alito, upheld the Trump administration’s policy, while Justice Sonia Sotomayor dissented, arguing it violates refugee protections.
