US judge blocks Biden's new border asylum restrictions

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

63% :The Biden administration has told migrants at the border they can apply for a time to approach a legal crossing via an app called CBP One.
59% : U.S. law only permits limiting migrants' access to asylum if they pass through a country that "actually presents a safe option," he said.
43% : But Tigar said those programs were not open to everyone and such moves were "irrelevant to the availability of asylum."
35% : "Those who fail to use one of the many lawful pathways we have expanded will be presumed ineligible for asylum.
31% : In a 35-page ruling, Tigar - an appointee of former President Barack Obama - said U.S. law explicitly states that crossing the border illegally should not be a bar to asylum.
23% : Biden's new asylum regulation, which took effect when Title 42 ended on May 11, presumes most migrants are ineligible for asylum if they passed through other nations without seeking protection elsewhere first, or if they failed to use legal pathways for U.S. entry.
