Supreme Court Weighs What Counts as Being 'In' the United States
TL;DR Summary
The Supreme Court heard arguments over the legality of border 'metering' of asylum seekers, weighing whether the 1996 asylum statute covers people who are only turned away at the border; conservatives appear to favor a narrow reading that only those 'in' the United States count, while Justices like Sotomayor warned that denying access could violate treaty obligations and cause humanitarian harm.
