9th Circuit Appeals Court 2-1 Rule in Favor of Biden Administration's Rule That Blocks Asylum-Seekers Not Using CBPOne if They Crossed Illegally

wmtw.com/#AssociatedPress The decision is a major win for the Biden administration, which had argued that the rule was integral to its efforts to maintain order along the U.S.-Mexico border. The new rule makes it extremely difficult for people to be granted asylum unless they first seek protection in a country they're traveling through on their way to the U.S. or apply online. It includes room for exceptions and does not apply to children traveling alone.

In his dissent (Judge) VanDyke seemed to agree with the legality of the rule in theory but said it was little different than previous rules put forward by the Trump administration that were shot down by the same appeals court when Trump was in office. He suggested that the judges had been moved to grant the stay because they feared that if the case went all the way to Supreme Court, that body would have done it instead.
