Supreme court rejects Trump plea to enforce asylum ban at US-Mexico border
Justices denied on a 5-4 vote the administration’s request to put on hold a federal judge’s order at least temporarily
The supreme court on Friday dealt a blow to Donald Trump by refusing to allow his administration to implement new rules prohibiting asylum for people who cross the US border illegally, a key component of his policies aimed making it harder for immigrants to enter and stay in the United States.
The justices on a 5-4 vote denied the administration’s request to put on hold a California-based federal judge’s order at least temporarily preventing it from carrying out the policy intended make anyone crossing the US-Mexican border outside of an official port of entry ineligible for asylum.
Conservative chief justice John Roberts joined the court’s four liberals in denying the administration’s request.

(how is 5-4, did RBG vote today?)
That is utterly disgusting. I wonder what Roberts’ argument was. I’m sure the actual laws for asylum are fairly detailed; one is that a person claiming asylum has to accept the first country he goes into that offers it, and MX offered to all of them, and they refused. So-called asylum seekers going through MX are all ineligible for even seeking it, jut by that alone.
I’m going to throw up now.
I hope whatever the demonrats have over Roberts.....gets exposed no matter how much of their bidding he does. Time for him to be brought down.
