California-based federal judge

The Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to potentially revive a policy that limits daily asylum applications at the U.S.-Mexico border, previously used under Obama and Trump. The policy, which created long waiting times and humanitarian concerns, was rescinded in 2021 but remains a point of legal contention. The court overturned a lower court's block, with the Justice Department arguing asylum seekers stopped at the border haven't 'arrived' and thus aren't entitled to screening.
