A federal appeals court has rejected President Donald Trump's attempt to unilaterally restrict migrants from seeking asylum at the US-Mexico border, setting up a potential Supreme Court showdown. The decision is a significant defeat for one of the key components of Trump's immigration agenda. The court ruled that an executive order issued by the president on his first day back in office ignored laws Congress enacted.
