US EditionU.S. Supreme Court to hear asylum case Tuesday
The Supreme Court will define when asylum protections apply under the 1990 Immigration and Nationality Act, impacting border enforcement and asylum claim processing.
- On Tuesday, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments in Noem v. Al Otro Lado to determine when asylum protections attach, with a decision likely by the end of June.
- Advocates contend that 'arrive' refers to a broader port-of-entry process, not just physical presence on U.S. soil, as border patrol officers and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security prevent migrants from crossing.
- Statutory language and officials' filings note that the 1990 Immigration and Nationality Act lets an individual who 'arrives in the United States' apply for asylum, and lawyers for the government argue that an alien stopped in Mexico is not in the United States.
- Either outcome positions the court on broader immigration and constitutional questions, fundamentally affecting asylum processing and potentially signaling how the high court approaches birthright citizenship debates under the 14th Amendment.
- With a decision likely by the end of June, the justices will define 'arrive', determining who is entitled to inspection and asylum processing at ports of entry under federal law.
