A U.S. federal judge on Tuesday blocked President Joe Biden’s new regulation restricting asylum access at the U.S.-Mexico border, upending a key tenet of his plan to deter migration after COVID-era Title 42 restrictions ended in May.
California-based U.S. District Judge Jon Tigar stayed the order for 14 days, leaving the restrictions in place for now.
The Biden administration within hours appealed to the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
