A father, in white, holds the hand of his daughter as they and other asylum seekers leave court under guard after some of them learned that they won't have to return to Mexico in light of a major federal court ruling against the Trump administration on Friday, Feb. 28, 2020, in El Paso, Texas. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Friday that sending asylum seekers to wait in Mexico is illegal nationwide.
The Justice Department said at least 25,000 asylum seekers subject to the policy are currently waiting in Mexico and expressed “massive and irreparable national-security of public-safety concerns.” The “Remain in Mexico” policy, known officially as “Migrant Protection Protocols,” took effect in January 2019 in San Diego and gradually spread across the southern border. About 60,000 people have been sent back to wait for hearings, and officials believe it is a big reason why illegal border crossings plummeted about 80% from a 13-year high in May.
“Do you guys understand that?” Herbert asked through an interpreter. “There was a pretty significant change in the law in the middle of your testimony.” Fletcher agreed the government set the bar too high for asylum-seekers to persuade officers that they should be exempt from the policy and didn’t provide enough time for them to prepare for interviews or consult lawyers. The judges said the government also erred by requiring asylum-seekers to express fear of returning to Mexico to be considered for an exemption, instead of asking them unprompted.
MarthaSugalski Another ruling that will be overturned. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Illegal criminal aliens need to stay is messico and fight for a revolution.
Righteous, good-willed people: 12 Pathological liar & all around piece of shit: 500,000 His forceful way of corruption is winning, people. We will not have a democracy if things keep going the way they've been going.
That is one lousy headline.

These decisions swing from one end to the other depending on the next judge. But anything that ends up at the Supreme Court is lost.
Trump is wise, Federal appeals court is right to protect USA & American people. Supporting Trump's policy is to protect yourself & USA. Democrats & left medias are corrupted organizations they are driving USA to next 'Venezuela's miserable life', wake up, people b4 it is late.
A PANEL. 9thCircuit interfering in American safety. How many will have ebola or corona virus? Did these DODOS even consider that? This is why we have an executive branch. OVERTURN. potus vp DHSgov DeptofDefense
It's ok we can now hold them forever also the Mexico government is not letting them in.
Terrible headline.
Let me guess, an Obama appointment that wants to destroy America
Hermanos y hermanas, porque el puto mundo se califica cómo el maestro de vosotros? Mandan ellos o mandamos vosotros? Sin nuestro peso, valen verga. La Revolución no buscamos pero la encontramos.
It's a federal, not an federal
Ugh again. Keep trying.
Well let me guess which liberals dopeheads these were
Thoughts and prayers. Get over it. I really don't care. Do you?
Not to worry, it's just the Ninth Circus court. With their 80%'ish overturn rate, it will be overturned.
In English?
The fact that most MAGAs can’t even read this headline correctly and inadvertently praised the decision to halt sending asylum seekers to their untimely funerals in Mexico is hilarious, terrifyingly stupid, and telling.
Look at all these open border Socialist celebrating this. I hope this goes to the Supreme Court because Mexico is the first country to seek asylum for anyone coming from Central America. maga kag hypocrites 👍🇺🇲
Perdón. noun (in Roman Catholic doctrine) a place or state of suffering inhabited by the souls of sinners who are expiating their sins before going to heaven.
Democrats are happy
This headline just gave me a headache.
As the playing of politics in the courts continues...........
'Fletcher quoted at length asylum-seekers who reported being assaulted and victimized in Mexico, saying it was 'enough — indeed, far more than enough' to undercut the government’s arguments.'
God damnit...
Trump must have had a temper tantrum
Oh USA. Didn’t know whose federal court you were talking about. Couldn’t tell from the headline. Returning asylum seekers to their home country or last port is just wrong.
realDonaldTrump kills EVERYONE & EVERYTHING
Winning
9th circuit strikes again... Supreme Court will correct them again soon.
And it will be overturned. Honestly why are us courts going against this.
