A federal court has blocked President Trump's attempt to deny asylum to migrants at the US-Mexico border, a move that could significantly impact immigration policy. The court ruled Trump exceeded his authority by declaring an emergency and bypassing legal processes. The judge stayed the ruling for two weeks, allowing the government time to appeal the decision regarding the asylum ban. The ruling comes amid a decrease in illegal border crossings. The ACLU challenged the ban, arguing it violated US laws and international treaties, and the White House has not yet commented.
