Supreme Court Hints at Backing Border Metering in Asylum Case
TL;DR Summary
At oral arguments, the Supreme Court signaled sympathy toward the Trump administration’s bid to revive the border 'metering' policy that limits asylum processing when crossings are overloaded; the central issue is whether asylum seekers who remain on the Mexican side have ‘arrived’ in the United States. Biden rescinded metering in 2021, and a 2024 Ninth Circuit ruling found it violated federal law requiring inspectors for those who arrive. A ruling is expected by late June.
