JUST IN: Federal judge declines to block new Trump admin. asylum restrictions at southern border. - DaniellaLSilva
U.S. District Judge Timothy J. Kelly on Wednesday declined to temporarily block a new interim rule that would broadly end asylum eligibility for migrants who pass through another country on their journey to the United States' southern border with Mexico but do not attempt to seek the protection in that country first.
The rule was challenged in a lawsuit filed July 16 in Washington, D.C., by the Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services and Capital Area Immigrants' Rights Coalition. In addition to the claims on irreparable harm, the suit says the administration’s rule violates migrants’ due process rights, anti-trafficking protections and was unlawful under federal statutes.
The Trump administration announced the sweeping change last week. Civil rights and legal advocacy groups swiftly challenged the new interim rule on July 16, the day the administration said it went into effect.
