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.

Court OKs border metering that turns away many asylum seekers

In a 6-3 ruling, the Supreme Court allowed border officials to turn away asylum seekers at official crossings under the Obama-era metering policy, reversing lower courts that had treated approaching migrants as having arrived in the United States. The policy was rescinded by the Biden administration in 2021, but it remains influential amid broader border restrictions; Justice Samuel Alito wrote for the majority, arguing that an alien arrives in the United States only after crossing the border, while Justice Sonia Sotomayor and other liberal justices dissented, warning the decision could jeopardize people fleeing persecution.

Canadians Cut Visits to U.S. Metros by 42%, Study Finds

A University of Toronto study using a cell‑phone mobility tool finds Canadians reduced visits to U.S. metropolitan areas by about 42% year over year (Apr 2024–Mar 2026), far above the 25% drop shown in official border crossings. The researchers caution the data capture freight movement and Canadians living temporarily in the U.S., with declines spanning major cities and tourist hotspots, possibly tied to tariffs and stricter border enforcement under the Trump 2.0 era. Canadian government data also show a 25% fall in Canadian-resident return trips in 2025, and a 7.5% drop in U.S. visits to Canada, underscoring broader shifts in cross-border travel and economic ties.

US tourism market share fades as world travel booms

Global travel surged in 2025, but the US lost market share as North America grew slowly while the Asia-Pacific region expanded by 8.2%. Border scrutiny, detentions, and safety concerns deterred international visitors (Canada arrivals fell by about 20%), with international travelers down 2.3% and international spending down 4.6%. Domestic travel stayed strong, supporting 15 million US jobs and $3 trillion in economic output, but the country risks losing its top destination status unless it boosts overseas promotion and efficiency (e.g., Global Entry) — and the 2026 FIFA World Cup co-hosting could help revive demand.

Supreme Court Hints at Backing Border Metering in Asylum Case

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.

Trump Uses Angel Families Event to Rehash 2020 Fraud Claims

At a White House ceremony honoring families of Americans killed by undocumented immigrants, President Donald Trump gave a rambling speech focused on alleged 2020 election fraud, claiming Democrats ‘professional cheaters’ rigged the vote and that he 'suffer for the country,' while declaring National Angel Family Day; the event featured long tangents and self-promotion, despite multiple federal and state investigations finding no widespread voter fraud and noting that some families in attendance had losses years before his presidency.

Noem, Brennan clash over immigration in tense CBS interview

In a heated Face the Nation exchange, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem pressed CBS’s Margaret Brennan on Biden-era immigration policy, arguing open-border policies have led to unvetted arrivals and disputing crime statistics among detainees (Noem cited about 70% with or facing charges versus Brennan’s DHS-based 47%). She dodged questions about the health/status of ICE agent Jonathan Ross involved in a Minneapolis shooting and emphasized ongoing reviews of the incident and agency actions, while criticizing Minnesota officials as appropriate investigations unfold.

Mexico Seeks Trump Deal to Redirect Non-Mexican Deportees

Mexico is seeking an agreement with President-elect Donald Trump to limit the number of non-Mexican deportees it receives from the US, similar to a deal with the Biden administration.

President-elect Donald Trump claimed that Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum agreed to stop migration through Mexico to the U.S. southern border, effectively closing it, after a phone call between the two leaders.
