A US federal appeals court ruled on Friday that President Donald Trump cannot prevent migrants from seeking asylum at the border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia upheld a lower court ruling that Trump exceeded his legal authority by banning migrants who have illegally crossed the US-Mexico border from making asylum claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCongress did not intend to grant the Executive the expansive removal authority it asserts,\u201d the judges said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCongress enacted the asylum statute\u2026 to grant all foreign individuals \u2018physically present\u2019 in the United States a right to apply for asylum and have their individual applications adjudicated,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf 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.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
District Judge Randolph Moss had ruled last year, in a case brought by immigrant rights groups and asylum seekers, that Trump\u2019s proclamation barring asylum requests was a violation of the INA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump campaigned for president promising to expel millions of undocumented migrants from the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since returning to the White House in January last year, the Republican president has sped up deportations and reduced border crossings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some of his mass deportation efforts have been thwarted or stalled by the courts over concerns that migrant rights to due process are being ignored.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
