Supreme Court Greenlights Border Metering

The Supreme Court just handed the government a major legal win, clearing the way to revive a controversial immigration policy called metering — which would limit daily asylum applications at the U.S.-Mexico border. With a 6-3 ruling, the court overturned a previous block, reigniting debate over whether people stopped at ports of entry have a legal right to seek asylum. While the policy is currently inactive, past administrations have used it to manage border surges, arguing applicants can simply try again later — a claim critics say ignores the dangerous, overcrowded conditions that resulted. The Justice Department insists those not processed haven’t “arrived,” while advocates argue blocking asylum seekers contradicts American values. Once used under Obama and expanded under Trump, metering was halted in 2020 and formally rescinded by Biden — but now, the court’s decision could bring it back.
