Supreme Court rules for Trump on asylum claims at the border (opens original article in a new tab)

The Supreme Court upheld a Trump-era policy limiting asylum claims by requiring applicants to be physically inside the U.S., not just at the border.

• Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in favor of Trump administration's policy to restrict asylum claims by requiring applicants to be physically present in the U.S.
• The decision hinges on interpreting 'physically present' in immigration law as requiring entry into the U.S., not just being on Mexican soil near the border.
• Justice Sotomayor dissented, warning the ruling could lead to more dangerous border crossings and deaths.
