Federal court blocks Biden rule limiting asylum for migrants, a major blow to administration
(Worthy News) – A federal judge in Oakland on Tuesday blocked a Biden administration rule that limits migrants’ access to asylum at the southern border, casting doubt on the future of a key policy aimed at limiting crossings.
The order from federal Judge Jon S. Tigar, who was appointed by President Obama, won’t take effect for two weeks. The Biden administration is expected to appeal quickly — first to the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals then, if unsuccessful, to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The policy, which restricts access to asylum for migrants who come through a third country on their way to the U.S. without applying for protections, is the centerpiece of the Biden administration’s efforts to reduce the number of migrants crossing without authorization each month.
