Supreme Court Upholds Border Metering, Limiting Asylum Applications at Entry

The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that the Trump administration can use the metering policy to turn away migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border before they can apply for asylum, a win for the administration’s immigration crackdown. The policy, previously used under both Obama and Trump, aims to cap daily asylum applications; dissents warned the decision could endanger migrants and alter asylum rights. The practical impact remains debated as migrants may attempt to reapply later.
