LOS ANGELES: A federal appeals court on Friday blocked a key asylum policy of Donald Trump’s administration which has forced many applicants to wait in Mexico while their claims are processed, delivering a blow to the US president’s signature crackdown on migration at the southern border.
The court had originally allowed the policy to go ahead last year, pending the appeal, overruling a district judge who had ruled against the measure. The American Civil Liberties Union, one of the groups that challenged the policy in court, welcomed the ruling Friday. The court’s decision “not only ignores the Constitutional authority of Congress and the administration for a policy in effect for over a year, but also extends relief beyond the parties before the court”.
