There are all kinds of downstream effects based off of this ruling.
Yeah, definitely.
And it was only one of two rulings by the Supreme Court, the second of which does not have the same type of practical effect.
But it does tell us something about the Trump administration and their belief of immigration enforcement and where they plan to go on this topic.
Yeah.
So starting in 2016, the Obama administration did something called metering.
What was happening was individuals were coming to port of entry, you know, the area where people cross into the United States at the southern border.
And they were right at that port of entry, going up to the officers and claiming asylum.
And what the Obama administration did, really on a small scale, was limit the number of people who could, on any given day, go up to the officers and claim asylum.
The Trump administration came in 2017 and later on really expanded that practice.
And so for these advocates and immigration lawyers, they were contesting the idea that the government could stop these people from attempting to claim asylum at the port of entry, that that was actually violating the law.
And what the Supreme Court said today was that this whole concept with which asylum application rests on this idea of people can claim asylum once they arrive in the United States.
Well, you're not arriving in the United States if you're in Mexico.
Yeah, that's exactly right.
Well, this administration has essentially shut down the southern border.
So if you're thinking about the next day effects of this specific order, it's not as massive as that TPS order, but it does tell us something about
the Trump administration and where they stand on asylum.
I mean, if this was an administration that was supporting access to asylum at the southern border, then this decision really would have been a blow for them.
But that is not something that they are trying to do.
They are not trying to allow people to have more access to asylum.
