Judicial setback for Trump on asylum issue
  • Country:
  • United States

A federal judge has put a temporary halt to the Trump administration's new order denying the possibility of asylum to people who enter the US illegally.

President Donald Trump issued the proclamation earlier this month as a matter of what he called national security as a US-bound caravan of Central American migrants made its way through Mexico toward the US border.

US District Judge Jon Tigar on Monday in San Francisco issued a temporary restraining order against the Trump order.
