Immigrant rights groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union, have filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration's new asylum policy. This policy bars most migrants caught illegally crossing the US-Mexico border from seeking asylum. The groups argue that the restrictions violate U.S. asylum law and that the administration did not follow proper procedures when implementing the changes.

The lawsuit emphasizes that the policy mirrors measures previously seen during the Trump administration, which were heavily criticized and faced legal challenges. Critics argue that these policies undermine the rights of asylum seekers and could lead to dangerous conditions for migrants without addressing the root causes of migration.

The legal challenge seeks to overturn the policy, arguing that it unlawfully restricts access to asylum. The case highlights the ongoing debate over U.S. immigration policy and the balance between border security and humanitarian obligations.
