Supreme Court Rules on Border Asylum

The Supreme Court just handed down a major ruling on asylum seekers at the U.S.-Mexico border, siding 6-3 with the Trump administration’s position that migrants must physically cross into the U.S. to qualify for asylum — meaning those waiting in Mexico at ports of entry can’t claim asylum there. Justice Alito, writing for the majority, argued that “arrives in the United States” means entering U.S. territory, not just attempting to. Justice Sotomayor strongly dissented, warning the ruling could block people fleeing persecution from accessing legal protections. This decision sets a key legal precedent and could be revived in future administrations, deepening the divide over immigration policy.
