Supreme Court reviews legality of Trump's asylum ban at southern border
What happened
Donald Trump signed a proclamation on January 20, 2025, declaring an invasion at the southern border. The Supreme Court agreed on November 13, 2026, to hear two questions regarding whether a president can suspend asylum at the Mexican border. The case, Mullin v. Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services, tests the legality of the proclamation and the guidance issued by the United States Department of Homeland Security.

Why it matters
The Supreme Court will decide if the proclamation and the United States Department of Homeland Security guidance are lawful, and whether federal law prevents class-wide relief. Lower court rulings had previously found the guidance unlawful and barred the Department of Homeland Security from implementing it.
