A federal appeals court rejected Trump’s bid to ban migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border from seeking asylum, ruling that the effort ignored laws passed by Congress. “Congress enacted the asylum statute, with narrow exceptions specified by statute, to grant all foreign individuals ‘physically present’ in the United States a right to apply for asylum and have their individual applications adjudicated,” the judges said. “If the Government wishes to modify this carefully structured and intricate system, it must present those arguments to the only branch of government able to amend the INA [Immigration and Nationality Act]: Congress.“
