The ACLU and others sued Tuesday and want the judge to block the policy while the case is heard

Civil liberties groups on Wednesday asked for a temporary restraining order blocking the Trump administration’s effort to effectively end asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Hundreds of immigrants have showed up at border crossings in hopes of getting into the U.S. But the new rules that went into effect earlier this week bar most migrants from seeking protection as refugees if they have passed through another country first. It targets tens of thousands of Central Americans who cross into the U.S. through Mexico, but also affects people from Africa, Asia, and South America who come to the southern border.

There are some exceptions: If someone has been trafficked, if the country the migrant passed through did not sign one of the major international treaties that govern how refugees are managed or if an asylum-seeker sought protection in a country but was denied – then a migrant could still apply for U.S. asylum.

U.S. asylum law allows refugees to request asylum when they arrive regardless of how they did so, but there is an exception for those who have come through a country considered to be “safe.”

Trudeau on Trump tweets: 'That is not how we do things in Canada'U.S. President Donald Trump's tweets telling four female congresswomen of colour to 'go back' to where they came from are 'not how we do things in Canada,' Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says. So is JustinTrudeau going to continue to beg for POTUS help to talk to the Chinese...or is Justin going to actually do the job himself? Fortunately for Canadians polls show you will be defeated in next election I do not identify with any particular party; while trying to support whoever is in power at the time. I appreciate Trudeau relaying a comment of disapproval in this regard; however, I would sincerely appreciate Trudeau clarifying all the scandals he's been wiggling his toes in.
