"The three-judge panel from the US court of appeals for the District of Columbia circuit found that immigration laws give people the right to apply for asylum at the border, and the president cannot circumvent that."
"The power by proclamation to temporarily suspend the entry of specified foreign individuals into the United States does not contain implicit authority to override the INA's mandatory process to summarily remove foreign individuals."
"Lee Gelernt, a lawyer at the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), said in a statement that the appellate ruling was essential for those fleeing danger who have been denied even a hearing to present asylum claims."
"Judge Justin Walker, a Trump nominee, wrote a partial dissent, stating the law gave immigrants protections against removal to countries where they would be persecuted."
An appeals court ruled against Donald Trump's executive order that suspended asylum access, stating that immigration laws grant individuals the right to apply for asylum at the border. The court found that the president cannot bypass these laws or create his own procedures for asylum claims. The ruling supports a previous lower court decision and emphasizes the importance of allowing individuals fleeing danger to present their asylum claims, countering the administration's actions deemed unlawful and inhumane.
