美法官裁决特朗普禁止移民申请庇护政令违法

Core Viewpoint - The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ruled that Trump's executive order issued on January 20, aimed at preventing border-crossing immigrants from seeking asylum or applying for deferred deportation, is illegal and applies nationwide [1][2]. Summary by Relevant Sections - Court Ruling Details - The ruling, delivered by Judge Randolph D. Moss in a 182-page opinion, stated that Trump's executive order labeled the increase in border crossings as an "invasion" and halted humanitarian screenings at the southern border, preventing entrants from applying for asylum or deferred deportation [1]. - The court emphasized that the executive order fundamentally conflicts with the protections established by the Immigration and Nationality Act, which guarantees anyone on U.S. soil the opportunity to seek asylum [1]. - Legal Context and Implications - The ruling is based on a class-action lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union, representing multiple immigrant rights groups and 13 asylum seekers, arguing that the executive order is "both illegal and unprecedented" [1]. - The court's decision will be delayed for 14 days to allow the Trump administration time to appeal; if no appeal is made, the government must resume processing all asylum applications after the ruling takes effect [1]. - Government Response - Following the ruling, the White House criticized the decision for circumventing the intent of the Supreme Court's recent ruling and announced plans to appeal [2].
