The Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the Trump administration’s policy of denying people at the U.S.-Mexico border a chance to seek asylum — a right enshrined in both federal and international law. The 6-3 decision reverses lower court rulings ordering a halt to the practice of “metering,” or limiting the number of asylum seekers who can present themselves at a U.S. port of entry each day. In a scathing dissent read from the bench, Justice Sonia Sotomayor said, “The consequences of today’s decision are predictable. More people will die. … More people will turn back and be subjected to violence because of something they cannot or should not have to change about themselves, such as their race, religion, nationality, or political opinion.”
