9th Circuit Strikes Down 'Metering' Policy for Asylum-Seekers, Celebrated by Migrant Advocacy Groups

A federal appeals court has ruled against the 'metering' policy that limited the number of asylum-seekers allowed to cross at U.S. ports of entry. This decision, celebrated by migrant advocacy groups, overturns a previous policy that restricted access to asylum seekers based on a cap. The ruling emphasizes the right to seek asylum and criticizes the practice of pushing migrants back to Mexico, which advocates argue endangers their safety. The 9th Circuit Court's decision reinforces the obligation to allow individuals on the Mexican side of the border to enter the U.S. if they express a desire for asylum.

After 7 years, we won! 🏆 On Wednesday, the court ruled that the “turnback policy” to deny asylum seekers to meet the cap was unlawful. The ruling holds the right to seek asylum. Pushing people back to Mexico only endangers them. https://t.co/RirQFjcw6n
