Supreme Court takes up challenge to Trump’s southern border asylum ban

Published Updated



The Supreme Court announced Friday it will hear a case over the legality of President Donald Trump’s January 2025 executive order that largely barred people from applying for asylum at the southern border.

The high court will hear Mullin v. Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services later this term, dealing with one of Trump’s signature immigration policies. The Supreme Court will consider whether the policy, which the administration implemented as part of sweeping immigration policy changes when entering office last year, is lawful, and whether the federal district court’s ruling striking it down was too broad.
