How the Supreme Court immigration rulings could impact asylum in the U.S.

The Supreme Court's recent rulings on immigration are poised to reshape the landscape of asylum in the U.S., potentially making it harder for individuals to seek refuge. Doris Meissner, a former top official at the Immigration and Naturalization Service, explains that these decisions could narrow the criteria for asylum seekers, impacting those fleeing persecution. This shift matters because it directly affects the fundamental principles of humanitarian protection and could lead to fewer asylum approvals. The implications extend beyond policy changes, raising significant questions about America's role as a safe haven for the displaced.
