US Supreme Court Allows Government to Deny Asylum at Border
The US Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that government officials can deny asylum seekers at the southern border if they have not set foot on US soil, a decision that revives the controversial 'metering' policy. Human rights groups argue the practice circumvents domestic law and encourages dangerous migration routes. The ruling also allows the Trump administration to remove legal protections from hundreds of thousands of Syrians and Haitians under Temporary Protected Status (TPS).
