Supreme Court will decide if Trump’s asylum restrictions are legal

The Supreme Court announced Friday that it will hear a case regarding the Trump administration's directive to suspend access to the asylum system and other legal protections for migrants crossing the southern border between ports of entry. The restrictions were issued on Inauguration Day and have since been ruled illegal by lower courts, according to The Hill. CBS News reports that the president issued the proclamation claiming an "invasion" is occurring at the southern border.

The Supreme Court is also considering the legality of indefinitely detaining immigrants in the U.S. without access to a bond hearing and the removal of migrants to third countries, CBS News reported. A decision in these cases is expected by the end of June or early July.
