Judge blocks Trump on asylum issue

NY Times -A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to resume accepting asylum claims from migrants no matter where or how they entered the United States, dealing at least a temporary setback to the president’s attempt to clamp down on a huge wave of Central Americans crossing the border.

Judge Jon S. Tigar of the United States District Court in San Francisco issued a temporary restraining order that blocks the government from carrying out a new rule that denies protections to people who enter the country illegally. The order, which suspends the rule until the case is decided by the court, applies nationally.

Good for Judge Tigar!!!! 1000 kudos! We are all descendants of immigrants, save the Native Americans which we chose to decimate and put on reservations.
