Supreme Court Decision on Asylum Seekers
The Supreme Court ruled that asylum seekers can be turned away at the U.S. border without a hearing, affirming that only those who physically enter the country are eligible to seek asylum under the Refugee Act of 1980. The majority emphasized that the law refers to arriving "in" the United States, allowing the government to enforce policies that block migrants from applying at border crossings. The decision upholds existing policies initiated in 2016 and rejects efforts to interpret “arrive” as including those turned back before entry.
