The Supreme Court's order Wednesday allowing new asylum restrictions to go into effect marks a significant win for President Donald Trump and could embolden him on other related issues, such as the upcoming refugee ceiling
The administration has rolled out policies aiming to curb the flow of migrants coming to the US-Mexico border following a steep uptick in border arrests in recent months. Wednesday's decision allows the administration to move forward with a rule that limits asylum for some and in effect, send thousands of Central American migrants back to Mexico to apply for asylum.
So far this fiscal year, the Border Patrol has arrested 419,831 families from those countries, according to Customs and Border Protection data. Only 4,312 families were from Mexico. Immigrant advocacy groups have warned that sending Central American migrants back to Mexico puts them in harm's way. But the administration has countered that the number of arrivals has strained the system.
