US Supreme Court to weigh Trump's power to limit asylum processing

The US Supreme Court will on Tuesday hear arguments regarding President Trump's authority to restrict asylum processing at the US-Mexico border. The case centers on a policy called "metering" that Trump's administration seeks to revive, which allows officials to turn away asylum seekers when border crossings are deemed too overburdened. This policy, previously used by Trump's administration and dropped by President Biden, faces a legal challenge after a lower court ruled it violated federal law. The narrow legal issue involves whether asylum seekers stopped on the Mexican side of the border have "arrived" in the United States under US law. The case is separate from Trump's broader border asylum ban, which also faces ongoing legal challenges.
