was filed by Innovation Law Lab, the Central American Resource Center of Northern California, and four other organizations on behalf of 11 asylum seekers who were sent to Mexico to wait.also upheld a block on the Trump administration's attempt to restrict asylum applications to ports of entry.
ACLU attorney Judy Rabinovitz, who argued the appeal against MPP said:"The court forcefully rejected the Trump administration's assertion that it could strand asylum seekers in Mexico and subject them to grave danger. It's time for the administration to follow the law and stop putting asylum seekers in harm's way."
Immigration rights advocates argue that forcing vulnerable asylum seekers to wait in temporary, often makeshift, shelters exposes them to even more violence than that which they are trying to escape.
A May ruling by the Ninth Circuit allowed the MPP to restart after an initial ruling by a federal judge had halted the program. Meanwhile, as asylum-seekers are processed in temporary tent courts along the border, judges are granting far fewer asylum claims than other courts. As of November 2019, just 117 migrants had been granted protection out of tens of thousands of applicants, according to data released by the TRAC immigration project at Syracuse University. That's a success rate of less than 1%.
The old Crazy Ninth Circuit, the most overturned rulings in US history - add this one to the list
Will you California judges get with the program, and act like US judges and not politicians.
From the Leftist Lexicon: 'Controversial' mean 'does not walk in lockstep agreement with liberal orthodoxy.' Supreme Court, please do your duty.
Judge Sotomayor is not going to be happy when this shows up at SCOTUS! At some point maybe we should give an amnesty for the year 2021, to anyone who can make it here. Offer Free Medical, Dental, Food Stamps, for Life. Plus University Education & optional Transgender surgery
Its only a 'controversial ' policy if you are a Progressive lunatic. BorderSecurity

This is excellent. Trump policy on our Texan border has been tearing apart lives on the north and south.

Maybe they will reinstitute it as an infection control plan. Just Watch.
Mexico is too dangerous to have people awaiting hearings. There’s already been attacks on migrants there, some deadly.
This is what forces Trump to go directly to the supreme court for relief.
This just means more people in cages, and more family separations.
Build the wall! Protect Hispanic neighborhoods!
