On Monday, the ACLU and immigration advocacy groups filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration over a ban on asylum access at the U.S.-Mexico border. They argue the ban, included in an executive order, illegally denies individuals fleeing war and persecution their statutory right to seek asylum. The lawsuit highlights serious legal concerns regarding Trump's designation of a national 'invasion' and the sweeping measures that suspend asylum requests. Advocates assert that reinstating asylum rights is vital to protect vulnerable migrants, while critics express concerns over the legitimacy of many asylum claims amid ongoing immigration reforms.
