Several immigrant advocacy groups are suing the Biden administration over President Joe Biden's directive last week to stop asylum processing at the southern border. They say it's no different than a similar ban under the Trump administration that was ultimately blocked in the courts. Biden's order limits asylum claims once encounters with migrants between ports of entry reach 2,500 per day. It went into effect immediately. Lee Gelernt, who is leading the legal challenge, says the groups had “no choice” but to sue because it was “legally indistinguishable” from former President Donald Trump's actions.
