Border Report Live: Trump’s efforts to limit asylum, birth rights face legal challenges
SUMMARY: The Trump administration has challenged asylum rights and birthright citizenship, leading to changes in U.S. border policies. Advocacy groups have criticized these shifts, which have limited asylum claims and worsened conditions for migrants. Asylum seekers were restricted to ports of entry with appointments, and many were turned back or detained. A report highlighted the risks faced by migrants who stayed in Mexico or returned to dangerous conditions. Faith-based and secular groups, including the ACLU, are fighting to restore asylum rights, with some advocating for a broader international response to the crisis.
