Judge Blocks Trump Administration's Asylum Policy. Here's Why.

United States District Judge Richard Seeborg on Monday blocked the Trump administration's policy of sending asylum seekers back to Mexico while they await the court to hear their case, commonly referred to as the "Remain in Mexico" program. Judge Seeborg's ruling, however, is being put on hold until Friday so Trump's team has the opportunity to appeal, the Associated Press reported.

The Trump administration made the decision to force asylum seekers to wait in Mexico until their case could be heard because of the number of illegal aliens flocking to the United States-Mexico border. The various caravans traveling from Central American countries, like Guatemala and Honduras, has overwhelmed immigration officials.

The lawsuit was brought about by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) Border Rights Center on behalf of various asylum seekers who argued the Trump administration wasn't assessing the danger they're facing in Mexico.
