Supreme Court Lets Border Turnaways Stand

The Supreme Court just handed down a major ruling that lets the government turn away asylum seekers at the border before they even enter the U.S., effectively blocking them from ever starting their asylum applications. While similar policies were tried under Obama and revived under Trump, this decision marks a sharp legal turn — with Justice Alito’s majority opinion arguing that people haven’t “arrived” until they cross the border, so asylum protections don’t kick in. Justice Sotomayor’s dissent blasts this as unfair, saying even a brief interaction with Border Patrol counts as “arriving.” The ruling gives the government unprecedented control over who enters — potentially shutting doors for vulnerable people seeking safety.
