The US Supreme Court is stepping in to decide if Donald Trump's tough asylum restrictions at the U.S.-Mexico border are legal.
These rules, rolled out in early 2025, block people who cross the border illegally from applying for asylum, a move his administration says helped cut down on border crossings.
Lower court ruled restrictions too broad
A lower court said Trump went too far with these restrictions, which are stricter than those under President Joe Biden and also affect some migrants at official crossings without full paperwork.
Immigrant rights groups challenged the policy and won, but the changes were put on hold while higher courts review the case.
The Supreme Court's decision, expected by June 2027, could shape how immigration works in the United States for years to come.
