The US Supreme Court has agreed to review President Donald Trump's asylum ban at the US-Mexico border, a central element of his immigration crackdown.
The administration is challenging lower court rulings that questioned its authority to categorically reject asylum seekers without accepting their applications.
Federal attorneys argue the policy addresses lengthy processing times and allows authorities to avoid handling claims they expect to reject. However, the American Civil Liberties Union and the National Immigrant Justice Center oppose the restrictions, arguing that US law requires individual assessments of asylum requests.
They also contend that border crossings were already declining before Trump returned to office.
