A judge blocked the Trump administration's policy of returning asylum seekers to Mexico as they wait for an immigration court to hear their cases.

The lawsuit on behalf of 11 asylum seekers from Central America and legal advocacy groups says the Trump administration is violating U.S. law by failing to adequately evaluate the dangers that migrants face in Mexico.

Under the new policy, asylum seekers are not guaranteed interpreters or lawyers and don't get to argue to a judge that they face the potential of persecution or torture if they are sent back to Mexico, Judy Rabinovitz, an attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union, said at a March court hearing.

The judge also questioned the Justice Department's argument that asylum seekers sent back to Mexico are not eligible for certain protections, such as a hearing before an immigration judge.

Judge blocks Trump policy forcing asylum-seekers to wait in MexicoA federal judge in California ruled that the Trump administration overstepped its legal authority when it forced asylum-seekers to wait in Mexico. How? That is not judiciary decision. That belongs to the executive branch. BarackObama made that clear. Lol, block all you want. Just means more metering for the folks with legitimate claims... clearly the government of Mexico cannot protect their own people from drug cartels...

Judge blocks Trump administration policy of returning asylum seekers to MexicoA federal judge in California issued an order blocking the Trump admin's policy of returning asylum seekers to Mexico while they wait for a court appearance. How will bringing in millions of illegals help our homelessness? Or our kids that eat once a day and that's at school? How will it help our economy when we already spend over 100 billion dollars a year on illegals? Common sense. Facts before feelings. So the judge agrees with the 2013-14 idea of them being placed in cages instead 🤷🏽‍♂️ Hint,, now they won't show up for the court appearance and melt into the country.
