Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor pens dissent on new Trump asylum policy
Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote a fierce dissent on Wednesday after a majority of her colleagues allowed President Donald Trump’s effort to ban most migrants from Central America from seeking asylum in the United States to go forward while legal challenges to the policy make their way through the court system.
Under the new asylum policy, the Trump administration will be able to reject the applications of migrants who reach the U.S. border without first seeking asylum from any countries they journeyed through first. There are exceptions for those who were the victims of trafficking or for people who sought and were denied asylum in another country.
Story continuesTrump has had several wins in his immigration battle in recent months. The Supreme Court in July allowed him to use $2.5 billion in Defense Department money to finance construction on his promised border wall, even after lawmakers largely rejected his efforts to re-appropriate the money and bypass congressional authority.
