BREAKING NEWS: A federal court has just upheld our challenge to Trump's asylum restrictions, decision by Judge Kelly of DC District Court. More to follow. Huge congrats to associate Mitch Reich and others who worked so hard on this case. More to follow

"There are many circumstances in which the law appropriately commands, as in [the Supreme Ct Holder case], that courts defer to the Executive Branch’s national security judgments. But ...the record in that case consisted of far more than a newspaper article."

This decision invalidates Trump's "asylum ban" at the Southern border.

The decision by Judge Kelly, who President Trump appointed to the bench in 2017, goes into effect immediately.

This is how the court described the Trump rule it struck down "the Rule renders aliens seeking to enter the United States at its southern border categorically ineligible for asylum unless they first applied for similar protection in a third country they transited through"
