The United States Supreme Court ruled late Wednesday to lift court orders blocking a new rule on asylum seekers at the southern U.S. border. The court ruling requires these individuals to seek asylum in the countries they pass through on their way to the United States. If their requests are then denied, they may ask the U.S. government for asylum. The court’s ruling cancels orders by lower courts and permits the new policy to go into effect. Two of the nine Supreme Court justices, Sonia Sotomayor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, disagreed, or dissented.
