The US Supreme Court will consider a case determining former President Donald Trump’s authority to limit asylum processing in the country.

The case challenges rules that restrict asylum applications at the US border, a policy implemented during Trump’s administration.

Lower courts previously blocked the policy, arguing it could violate US immigration laws and constitutional protections.

Trump’s legal team argues the President has broad powers to manage immigration and protect national security.

Opponents maintain the restrictions prevent vulnerable people from seeking refuge and undermine US humanitarian obligations.

The Supreme Court’s decision could shape the scope of executive power over immigration and asylum policies for years to come.
