Appeals Court Allows Biden Asylum Policy to Stay for Now

A court has ruled that President Biden's asylum policy will be allowed to proceed for now. The decision was handed down by the US Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals yesterday. The policy described as an asylum ban by its critics bars migrants from applying for asylum if they cross the border legally or do not file for safe harbor. Before reaching the USA panel of three appellate judges voted 2 to 1 putting a temporary hold on the lower court's order that halted the policy last month while the case plays out in court between the Department of Justice and the Immigrant Rights Project.
