U.S. Supreme Court to hear asylum case Tuesday

(The Center Square) – The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments on Tuesday in a case to determine at what point an individual attempting to enter the United States can claim asylum protections.

The case, Noem v. Al Otro Lado, focuses on a dispute between the Trump administration and an immigration advocacy group. The advocacy group argued that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security instituted a policy to prevent migrants from attempting to cross the U.S.-Mexico border.

In a brief to the court, lawyers for the immigration advocates said border patrol officers standing on the U.S. side of the border “identified asylum seekers, and prevented them from stepping onto U.S. soil.”
