Supreme Court weighs letting Trump administration revive policy turning away asylum seekers at border
Anchorage Daily News6 hrs
Letting the government turn away asylum seekers before they even set foot on U.S. soil guts a foundational principle of American law. People fleeing violence deserve the chance to make their case — stripping that right puts lives at risk. This policy is as cruel as it is recklessly illegal.
The Supreme Court is finally ready to shut down an asylum loophole that's been exploited for years to flood the border with fraudulent claims. Real border security means stopping the abuse before it starts, not rubber-stamping every claim that makes it to U.S. soil. This ruling would restore order and common sense to a broken system.
