High Stakes at the Border: Supreme Court Revisits Asylum 'Metering' Policy
The U.S. Supreme Court will evaluate President Trump's administration's defense of the 'metering' policy for asylum seekers deemed unprocessable at the U.S.-Mexico border. This policy, which stopped processing claims during surges, faces legal challenges for potentially breaching federal law on asylum seekers' rights.
The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear a pivotal case concerning the Trump administration's defense of a controversial immigration policy known as 'metering.'
Initially implemented during Trump's first term, this policy allowed officials to deny processing claims from asylum seekers at an overburdened U.S.-Mexico border.
The legal battle questions whether 'metering' violates federal law, as it prevents border agents from inspecting migrants who arrive but haven't crossed into the U.S.
