Federal judge bars Trump administration from expelling asylum seekers
The judge ruled that the president cannot create an “alternative immigration system” that tramples on existing federal law.

A federal judge in the District of Columbia barred the Trump administration Wednesday from expelling asylum seekers from the United States, dealing a major blow to the administration’s efforts to curtail crossings at the U.S. southern border.
In a 128-page decision, U.S. District Judge Randolph D. Moss invalidated a proclamation that President Donald Trump signed on his first day in office that declared an “invasion” on the border and invoked emergency presidential powers to deport migrants without allowing them to apply for asylum. Migrants and advocacy groups sued in February, saying federal law allows people to apply for the humanitarian protection no matter how they entered the United States.
Moss stayed his ruling for 14 days pending a likely appeal from the Trump administration. But he wrote that the executive branch cannot create an “alternative immigration system” that tramples on existing federal law.
…Depending on the appeal, the ruling could reopen asylum processing on the southern border and enable migrants to cross into the United States in hopes of seeking refuge. Border crossings have remained low under the Trump administration after officials implemented these and other policies.
