A federal appeals court has ruled against former President Donald Trump's attempt to unilaterally prevent migrants from applying for asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border. The decision, made by a 2-1 vote, marks a significant setback for Trump's immigration agenda. The court found that Trump's directive, issued on his first day back in office, violated existing laws established by Congress. Judge Michelle Childs stated that barring individuals physically present in the U.S. from seeking asylum contradicts legal provisions.
