In a contentious and highly anticipated ruling, the US Supreme Court has dealt a significant blow to efforts to reform the country's asylum system. In a 6-3 decision, the justices have overturned a lower court order that had blocked a Trump-era policy limiting the number of people who can apply for asylum each day. The policy, which was implemented in 2020, had been widely criticized by immigration advocates and human rights groups, who argued that it was designed to discourage asylum seekers from applying for protection in the US. The court's decision is likely to have far-reaching implications for thousands of migrants seeking refuge in the US, and could set a precedent for future immigration policies.
