A
U.S. judge stalls enforcement of Trump asylum restrictions

HOUSTON (AP) — A judge
has ordered the U.S. gov-
ernment not to enforce a BORDER
ban on asylum for people
who cross the southern bor-
der illegally, another court
setback for the Trump ad-
ministration’s efforts to im-
pose new immigration re- LINE
strictions without congres-
sional approval.
U.S. District Judge Jon Tigar
agreed Monday with legal
groups that immediately
sued after President Don-
ald Trump issued a Nov.
9 proclamation saying
anyone who crossed the
southern border between
official ports of entry would
be ineligible for asylum.
The administration argued
that caravans of migrants
approaching the southern
border made the new re-
strictions immediately nec-
essary.
