"Biden administration's controversial asylum policy upheld by appeals court"

The 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals has allowed the Biden administration to continue implementing a controversial asylum policy while it appeals a lower court's ruling. The policy, which restricts migrants who passed through another country from seeking asylum in the United States, has faced criticism from Biden allies, Democrats, and immigration advocates. The 9th Circuit will expedite its consideration of the case, with Circuit Judge Lawrence VanDyke, a Trump appointee, dissenting from the appellate panel's decision.
