The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to review a Ninth Circuit decision in Innovation Law Lab, et al. v. Wolf, et al., that held illegal a Trump administration policy forcing asylum seekers to wait under dangerous conditions in Mexico for their hearings in U.S. immigration courts.
The Southern Poverty Law Center, American Civil Liberties Union and Center for Gender & Refugee Studies are challenging the policy, which was blocked by a federal court in California in 2019, but remains in effect due to a stay issued by the Supreme Court in March 2020.
