Judge Blocks Trump's Asylum Ban at U.S.-Mexico Border
Imagine the President made a rule that people couldn't seek help in America if they crossed the border in a certain way.
A judge looked at this rule and said the President didn't have the power to make that kind of rule.
The judge said the President went beyond what he's allowed to do.
A group called the ACLU challenged the rule.
The judge gave a long explanation, and now the government has some time to decide if they want to ask a higher court to review the decision.
A U.S. federal judge blocked President Trump's asylum ban at the U.S.-Mexico border.
The judge said Trump exceeded his authority by declaring illegal immigration an emergency.
The ACLU brought the challenge to Trump's asylum ban, citing violations of U.S. laws and international treaties.
The judge issued a 128-page opinion against Trump's proclamation.
The ruling's effective date is stayed for 14 days to allow the Trump administration to appeal.
