Quick Summary

The Supreme Court will hear the case of Mullin v. Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services to determine the legality of President Donald Trump’s January 2025 executive order. This order, a signature immigration policy implemented last year, largely prohibits individuals from applying for asylum at the southern border. The court will specifically evaluate if the policy is lawful and whether a federal district court's decision to strike it down was overly broad.
