The U.S Supreme Court has just dealt a significant blow to President Donald Trump’s attempt to thwart asylum-seekers.
Bloomberg News adds these details:
“President Trump’s Nov. 9 proclamation barred asylum for anyone who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border between official ports of entry, a reaction to recent caravans of migrants from Central America,” The Washington Post notes.
When a lower court ruled last month that Trump’s ban was illegal, Trump attacked the judge as an “Obama judge.” In a rare rebuke Chief Justice John Roberts openly criticized Trump’s attack, defending the impartiality of the judicial branch.
The Chief Justice stood with liberals justices in today’s ruling denying Trump his ban.
