US judge blocks Trump asylum ban at US-Mexico border, says he exceeded authority
- On July 16, a federal judge in Washington, Randolph Moss, ruled that President Trump's policy banning asylum at the southern border is illegal.
- The ruling follows Trump's January 20 order declaring the border situation an invasion and suspending migrants' asylum rights.
- Judge Moss wrote the president lacks authority to bypass Congress-protected asylum laws requiring an opportunity to apply for protections.
- In June, Border Patrol arrests totaled 6,070, marking a 30% decrease from May and indicating the lowest level of illegal crossings recorded since 1966.
- The decision significantly challenges a key pillar of Trump's immigration policy while allowing time for the administration to appeal.
