Federal Judge Blocks Trump’s Asylum Ban

In a major victory for asylum-seekers, a federal judge blocked the Trump administration’s ban on asylum for people fleeing persecution who cross the US border illegally. Three days after the midterm elections, President Donald Trump barred people who enter the country between official ports of entry from receiving asylum. It was an aggressive attempt to override Congress: US law explicitly protects people’s right to seek asylum regardless of how they enter the country.
