Supreme Court backs Trump administration's stricter asylum rules

The Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the Trump administration's stricter asylum rules, allowing for asylum seekers to be turned away at the southern border if they have not yet entered U.S. territory. This decision resolves a legal dispute over the Border Patrol's practice of managing capacity at ports of entry. The Court's majority opinion stated that an individual is not considered to have arrived in the U.S. until they have physically crossed the border. AI
