Trump administration hit with second lawsuit over restrictions on asylum access
- On June 11, 2025, immigrant rights groups filed a federal lawsuit in San Diego challenging the Trump administration's shutdown of asylum processing at U.S.-Mexico border ports of entry.
- The lawsuit responds to a January 20 proclamation that canceled all CBP One app appointments and effectively barred asylum seekers from presenting at ports of entry.
- The plaintiffs consist of asylum seekers, including a woman who was targeted by a Mexican cartel, as well as two nonprofit organizations based in the San Diego area that offer legal and humanitarian support to individuals affected by these policies.
- Advocates contend that the proclamation violates U.S. law, referencing the INA which allows any person arriving in the country to apply for asylum, and criticize the policy as a serious violation of the essential human right to pursue protection.
- The lawsuit seeks to overturn the proclamation, restore asylum access at ports of entry, and highlights that the Trump administration's actions have left thousands stranded with no path to protection.
