Al Otro Lado, Inc. v. Trump
Case Overview
Individuals who attempted to claim asylum in the United States sued the Trump administration over the closure of access to asylum at ports of entry along the U.S.-Mexico border.
The Application
Plaintiffs challenge the executive closure of asylum processing at southern border ports of entry as exceeding statutory authorization under the INA and violating APA procedural requirements. The central question is whether the administration may effectively suspend asylum access rather than administer the asylum statute as written.
The Conclusion
The case remains active before Judge Bermudez Montenegro in the Central District of California. Resolution will determine the scope of executive authority over asylum access and the enforceability of statutory protections during policy changes.
