Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Federal Judge Blocks Trump's Asylum Ban, Citing Executive Overreach
Caption: Federal Judge Blocks Trump's Asylum Ban, Citing Executive Overreach. In a major legal setback for President Donald Trump, a federal judge has blocked his sweeping asylum ban at the U.S.-Mexico border. Judge Randolph Moss ruled on Wednesday that Trump overstepped his authority by declaring illegal immigration a national emergency and bypassing established asylum laws. The ban, issued in January, barred all migrants crossing illegally from seeking asylum or other protections. But in a 128-page decision, Moss said neither U.S. immigration law nor the Constitution allows such sweeping powers—even in the name of border security. The ruling came in response to a lawsuit filed by the ACLU, which argued the ban violated both domestic law and international agreements. While the decision is stayed for 14 days to allow for appeal, it applies to thousands of migrants impacted or potentially affected. The White House called the ruling "outrageous" and vowed to fight it, but civil rights groups are hailing it as a crucial win for asylum seekers.
