Refugee immigrants

After the implementation of this regulation, it will be difficult for Central American immigrants to take refuge in the United States, and they will only face death if they have nowhere to escape. This result is not what everyone wants to see. It is reported that on September 1 1 local time, the US Supreme Court approved the implementation of the new asylum policy. According to this new regulation, most immigrants who want to apply for asylum in the United States need to seek asylum in a third country first.

In fact, as early as July 15, the US Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security issued a joint statement saying that from July 16, third-country immigrants who arrived at the US-Mexico border could not apply for asylum in the United States. This means that the vast majority of Central American immigrants who arrive at the US-Mexico border will not be able to apply for asylum. On July 24th, Judge Jon Tiger, a federal district judge for the Northern District of California, issued an order demanding that the government stop implementing this new regulation nationwide, which aims to disqualify Central American immigrants from applying for asylum.

In this way, the Federal Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit played a game with Tiger, and finally narrowed the scope of implementation of this ban, which was only implemented in some areas. However, on September 9, Tigers decided to resume the ban nationwide again. The Federal Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit also made another judgment. On September 1 1, the Supreme Court ruled that the new regulation can be implemented during the legal proceedings challenging its legality. White House spokesman Hogan Gidley said that the Trump administration was pleased with the Supreme Court's ruling, which overturned the wrong ruling of the district court. What the Trump-led US government wants to see has already appeared.

However, among the nine justices of the Supreme Court, liberal justices Sotomayor and Ginsburg hold different opinions. Sotomayor said: "What is particularly worrying is that the government promulgated this regulation, which overthrew decades of asylum practice, affected some of the most vulnerable groups in the western hemisphere, and did not give the public a chance to express their views."

In addition, Rod Nadler, chairman of the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives and a Democrat, and others also expressed disappointment with this ruling. They said in the statement: "Countless lives will pass away. This rule will lead to people fleeing from fear and persecution being shut out of our doors, which will only aggravate the humanitarian crisis in the region. They don't want to see such a situation. Because they can't do anything that cruelly pushes their lives to death.
