Trump administration defends order barring asylum at southern border

**Summary:**On November fourth, a significant hearing took place in Washington, where a panel of federal judges considered the legality of President Trump's executive order to end asylum claims at the southern border. The Trump administration argued they have the right to block migrants from applying for asylum, while civil rights and immigration groups fought to keep a previous court order in place, asserting that asylum is a protection granted by Congress, not something the president can revoke. The Trump team cited a special section of immigration law to support their position, but critics argue that the current situation at the border does not constitute an emergency. The outcome of this hearing will have major implications for how the United States handles asylum seekers in the future. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network.
