US Supreme Court rules in favor of Trump administration, allowing border officials to turn away asylum seekers without allowing them to apply for asylum, effectively circumventing federal law. The decision, made by a 6-3 vote, allows the government to stop asylum seekers from physically setting foot in the country, keeping them from applying for asylum. The ruling may make it more difficult for people fleeing persecution to enter the US. The decision reverses a lower court ruling that had blocked a similar policy implemented by the Obama administration.
