Celebrate the Court Ruling Striking Down Trump’s Asylum Ban

A major victory for human rights and the rule of law: A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration’s cruel attempt to bar migrants crossing the US-Mexico border from seeking asylum.

In a clear rebuke of presidential overreach, Judge Randolph Moss ruled that the president cannot override immigration laws passed by Congress or create an alternative asylum system by decree. The decision affirms that the U.S. must uphold its legal and moral obligations to people fleeing violence and persecution, no matter how they arrive.

This win was made possible by powerful legal advocacy from the ACLU, Las Americas Immigrant Advocacy Center, Florence Immigrant & Refugee Rights Project, and countless others who continue to defend the rights of asylum seekers against Trump’s extremist agenda.
