The Trump administration’s policy, signed in November last year, temporarily banned migrants who illegally enter the US across the southern border from seeking asylum outside official checkpoints, recalls CNN.

“Aliens have a legal right to seek asylum regardless of whether they enter the United States at a designated port of entry, and defendants cannot extinguish that legal right by ruling or proclamation,” concluded U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss, appointed Barack Obama.

At the end of last year, a federal judge in California blocked Trump's ban on asylum in such cases. Subsequently, the Supreme Court upheld the decision.

“Today’s decision is significant for what it portends—that the administration’s new asylum policies will be wiped out,” said Steve Vladeck, a Supreme Court analyst and professor at the University of Texas School of Law. “But its practical impact will be more modest because the policy has already been suspended thanks to a nationwide injunction from a California court.”
