High Court To Review Two Cases Involving Trump Border Policy

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear two cases involving Trump administration policies at the U.S.-Mexico border.

One case is about a policy that makes asylum-seekers wait in Mexico for U.S. court hearings and a second about the administration’s use of money to fund the border wall. The justices’ decision to hear the cases continues its practice of reviewing lower court rulings that have found President Donald Trump’s immigration policies illegal over the past four years. The justices will not hear either new case until 2021, and the outcome of the presidential election could make the cases go away, or at least reduce their significance.
