Federal Judge Blocks Biden Administration’s Asylum Policy

The U.S. District Court of Northern California has blocked the Biden Administration’s restrictions on migrants seeking asylum, stating that the rule is “substantively and procedurally invalid” and “contrary to law because it presumes ineligible for asylum noncitizens who enter between ports of entry, using a manner of entry that Congress expressly intended should not affect access to asylum.” The judge granted a 14-day stay to give the Biden Administration time to appeal the decision.
