Judge Bars Trump from Expelling Asylum Seekers

“A federal judge in the District of Columbia barred the Trump administration Wednesday from expelling asylum seekers from the United States, dealing a major blow to the administration’s efforts to curtail crossings at the U.S. southern border,” the Washington Post reports.

“In a 128-page decision, U.S. District Judge Randolph D. Moss invalidated a proclamation that President Donald Trump signed on his first day in office that declared an ‘invasion’ on the border and invoked emergency presidential powers to deport migrants without allowing them to apply for asylum.”
