A federal judge in California on Monday dealt a setback to a new Trump administration rule that sought to block almost all asylum applications at the border, ruling that an injunction against the rule should apply nationwide
NEW YORK, Sept 9 - .
It forms part of U.S. President Donald Trump's anti-immigration policy, a centerpiece of his 2016 election campaign and a major issue as he seeks re-election in November 2020. On Monday, Tigar ruled it should apply across the entire border, pending a trial on the underlying legality of the Trump administration rule.
The rule would block nearly all families and individuals from countries like El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala who are seeking to escape poverty and persecution at home from entering the United States after crossing through Mexico as asylum seekers. The rule would keep asylum protections for Mexican citizens.
