The Justice Department is asking the Supreme Court to block an appeals court ruling that threatens to prevent the Trump administration from carrying out its remain-in-Mexico asylum policy along much of the southern border starting next week.
The 9th Circuit quickly lifted its own ruling temporarily at the Justice Department's request, but insaid the decision would take effect in California and Arizona starting next Thursday unless the Supreme Court steps in. However, Solicitor General Noel Francisco said in the emergency stay filing with the high court Friday that the greater danger is of chaos at the border.
The 9th Circuit narrowed the effect of its ruling because of an ongoing debate about the power of courts to issue nationwide injunctions. California and Arizona are in the within the 9th Circuit's jurisdiction, while New Mexico and Texas are in other circuits.
