US court allows Trump government to implement new refugee rules
The US Supreme Court on Wednesday allowed the Trump administration to implement new refugee rules. The approval of these new rules, which reduced the number of people seeking asylum in America, is considered a major victory of the Trump administration.
The decision is expected to benefit Trump in the upcoming general election as well. That is why President Donald Trump himself tweeted that – Supreme Court verdict on refugee case is a big victory for America. With this decision, the Trump administration will be able to implement its policy. However, trial in this regard is going on in lower courts. Whitehouse has welcomed the decision. White House spokesman Hogan Gidley said – We are happy that the Supreme Court gave an important order to eliminate the lapse in the refugee system, now we can implement the rules. The spokesman hoped that this would help resolve the problem along the southern border and eventually secure the American community.
New Refugee rule
The new rule prohibits migrants who live in the US or come from a third world country to seek asylum in the US. One purpose of this rule is to prevent people traveling through Mexico from being granted asylum in the US.
Two judges against new refugee rules
Of the nine judges, justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg have voiced their disagreement regarding the approval of the new law. But the permission required only the approval of five judges. It was not publicly announced how many judges gave their approval in favor of the law.
According to an organization called Refugee International, the Supreme Court verdict is a setback for people seeking asylum on the southern border. It said, “We are disappointed that the Supreme Court has approved the policy preventing the asylum of families and children coming through third world countries.”
