What Happened
A US federal appeals court ruled President Trump's asylum ban unconstitutional on Friday, finding it violates the Immigration and Nationality Act. The three-judge panel determined Trump lacked executive authority to unilaterally suspend asylum applications at the border. The White House signaled plans to appeal the decision, which upheld an earlier lower court ruling blocking the January 20 proclamation.
