How does the POTUS's policy violate US law? As far as I know, the policy operates within current US immigration law and POTUS's current policy of keeping asylum seeker's in Mexico is within his jurisdiction as the Chief Executive. Once again, it is the 9th Circuit causing the problem.  The plaintiffs argument rests on their allegation that making asylum seeker's remain in Mexico is causing them irreparable harm. This is an argument that at its core is unprovable and subjective. Like all other previous immigration litigation brought before SCOTUS from the 9th Circuit, this case will more than likely be decided in favor of POTUS.  Hopefully, by appointing new Judges to the left coast circus court, we will not continue to have monkey wrenches throw into POTUS's attempts to shut down the porous Southern border. Thank you POTUS.
