BREAKING: Supreme Court allows Trump admin. to enforce toughest restriction yet on migrant asylum requests.
The U.S. Supreme Court late Wednesday gave the Trump administration permission to enforce its toughest restriction yet on asylum seekers at the southern border, even though a lawsuit to stop the new policy is still working its way through the lower courts.
As a result, the government can now refuse to consider a request for asylum from anyone who failed to apply for it in another country after leaving home but before coming here. As a practical matter, it means that migrants from Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador cannot seek asylum in the U.S. if they didn't first ask for it in Mexico.Pete Williams is an NBC News correspondent who covers the Justice Department and the Supreme Court, based in Washington.
