Supreme Court allows Trump-era policy restricting asylum at U.S.-Mexico border to potentially resume, overturning a lower court ruling.

• Supreme Court overturned a lower court order blocking the Trump administration's policy of restricting asylum seekers at the U.S.-Mexico border.
• The policy, which limited daily asylum applications, was used during Obama's and Trump's administrations but ended in 2020 due to pandemic restrictions.
• Advocates argue the policy caused a humanitarian crisis by forcing migrants into unsafe shelters, while the administration claims it was necessary to manage border asylum requests.
