The core claim about the court limiting Trump's asylum crackdown is supported by multiple sources.
Detailed Analysis:
- Claim: The ruling centers on a proclamation issued by President Trump just hours after he returned to the White House in January, ordering the closure of the asylum system.
- Verification Source #1: President Trump signed executive orders declaring a national emergency on the US-Mexico border and calling for more barriers as part of an aggressive crackdown.
- Verification Source #2: U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss said Trump's proclamation declaring an “invasion” at the border cannot be used to justify the unilateral action.
- Verification Source #3: The executive orders claim to restrict asylum at the U.S./Mexico border.
- Verification Source #5: Trump immigration crackdown involved policies impacting asylum seekers.
- Assessment: Supported. Multiple sources confirm Trump issued executive orders impacting asylum at the border shortly after taking office. The claim about 'closure of the asylum system' might be an overstatement, but the sources confirm significant restrictions were implemented.
