Supreme Court to Decide Fate of ‘Remain in Mexico’ Asylum Policy

The U.S. Supreme Court is set to rule on a key immigration dispute over when asylum seekers are considered to have 'arrived' in the United States. The case, involving the Trump administration's 'Remain in Mexico' policy, could have significant implications for asylum seekers and the processing of their claims at U.S. borders. If the court sides with immigration advocates, the policy could be struck down, requiring officials to inspect asylum seekers upon reaching U.S. soil. A ruling in favor of the administration would uphold the stricter interpretation of 'arrival' and maintain the current restrictions.
