Federal Judge Rules Against Trump Asylum Policy


A Federal Judge in Washington, D.C., Ruled Friday against a Trump Administration Policy that would Only Allow Migrants who Enter the U.S. through Legal Ports of Entry to Claim Asylum, the Latest Blow against the Administration's Agenda.

U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss, an Obama Appointee, Ruled that the Policy "is inconsistent with" the Immigration and Nationality Act.

The Policy has been Already Blocked by a Federal Judge in San Francisco, and is now being Appealed before the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.

President Trump Enacted the Measure through a Presidential Proclamation last year.

Friday's Ruling also comes as the Trump Administration Steps Up its Efforts to Tighten Asylum Laws, but those Actions have Faced Several Blows in Court so far.
