A US appeals court has rejected President Trump's executive order that would have prevented asylum seekers from requesting protection at the southern border, setting the stage for a potential Supreme Court battle. The judges ruled that the order, which aimed to expedite removals, effectively ignored federal laws that guarantee individuals the right to seek asylum. This decision blocks the administration's effort to bypass established legal procedures for those fleeing persecution.
