Federal judge blocks Biden administration's asylum restrictions, Justice Department appeals

  • A federal judge blocked the Biden administration's policy that restricted asylum claims at the southern border.
  • The policy required asylum seekers to apply online or seek protection in another country before entering the US.
  • Immigrant rights groups argued the policy violated federal law and endangered migrants.
  • The judge delayed implementation to allow the Biden administration time to appeal.
  • The Justice Department disagrees with the ruling and is appealing to a higher court.
