A 2018 attempt by President Donald Trump to limit asylum eligibility only to people who cross into the U.S. at official entry points along the southern border was struck down by a federal court judge in Washington who found it illegal.
U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss’ ruling Friday comes as federal courts in Washington and San Francisco are weighing the president’s more recent efforts to restrict such eligibility only to people who first sought asylum in another country that they traveled through on the way to the U.S.
