U.S. federal judge halts Trump’s asylum ban, ruling it exceeds presidential authority

According to Jinse Finance, a federal judge on Wednesday blocked an executive order by Trump that sought to prevent border-crossing migrants from seeking asylum or applying for deferred deportation in the United States, ruling that the order exceeded the president’s executive authority. U.S. District Judge Randolph Daniel Moss, appointed by former President Obama, stated on Wednesday that the order went beyond the president’s power to suspend immigration law protections, emphasizing that neither the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) nor the Constitution grants the executive branch the authority to override the INA and its regulatory provisions. Trump advisor Stephen Miller criticized the ruling on social media.
