“President Donald Trump’s effort to crack down on asylum claims by immigrants crossing the southern border vastly exceeded his legal authority and must be halted, a federal judge ruled Wednesday. U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss said Trump’s Jan. 20 proclamation declaring an ‘invasion’ of southern border-crossers cannot be used to justify the ‘sweeping’ unilateral restrictions he sought to impose, including severe limits to asylum applications and the ability to seek protection from torture. … Trump’s proclamation established ‘an alternative immigration system’ that has no basis in law, the judge ruled.” (07/02/25)
