Federal law gives migrants the right to seek asylum if they fear persecution based on their political opinions, race or other reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe president does not have the right to unilaterally override the protections Congress has afforded those fleeing danger,\u201d Lee Gelernt, deputy director of the American Civil Liberties Union\u2019s Immigrants\u2019 Rights Project, said in a statement Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crossings at the southern border have&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2026\/10\/26\/trump-closed-down-border-ended-it-campaign-issue\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">plummeted<\/a>&nbsp;in recent years. Border encounters have fallen from more than 2.4 million in 2023 to just under 140,000 last fiscal year, which ran from Oct. 1, 2025, to Sept. 30, according to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbp.gov\/newsroom\/stats\/southwest-land-border-encounters\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">U.S. Customs and Border Protection figures<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe single most important factor in the President\u2019s success at the border has been this executive order, which he signed on day one,\u201d James Percival, general counsel at the Department of Homeland Security,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DHSGenCounsel\/status\/2121329719245160878\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">wrote<\/a>&nbsp;in a social media post about the court taking up the case. \u201cAfter successfully preserving this authority in lower courts for two years, we look forward to presenting our arguments to the Supreme Court.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The high court\u2019s decision to hear the asylum issue adds it to the mounting list of immigration-related cases awaiting the justices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next month, the justices will hear arguments about the Trump administration policy of deporting immigrants to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2026\/09\/29\/supreme-court-allows-trump-administration-now-resume-third-country-deportations\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">countries that are not their own<\/a>. It will also hear arguments regarding the Immigration and Customs Enforcement\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2026\/10\/01\/supreme-court-agrees-review-ice-mandatory-detention-policy-immigrants\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">mandatory detention policy<\/a>&nbsp;\u2014 in which undocumented immigrants who have lived in the country for years are detained until their deportation cases are resolved, which could take weeks or months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The court\u2019s 6-3 conservative majority has been largely sympathetic to the Trump administration\u2019s immigration policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year, the court allowed the administration to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/immigration\/2026\/08\/05\/tps-haitians-officially-ends-putting-thousands-out-work-limbo\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">cancel temporary humanitarian protections<\/a>&nbsp;for hundreds of thousands of immigrants living legally in the United States. The justices also said immigration officials are allowed to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2026\/06\/25\/migrants-not-entitled-apply-asylum-while-standing-mexico-side-border-supreme-court-rules\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">physically turn back asylum seekers<\/a>&nbsp;from crossing the U.S.-Mexico border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the court also has handed Trump high-profile defeats, including rebuffing his attempt to ban birthright citizenship.
