    I don’t know the specifics of the case but international law which the US is signatory to allows asylum seekers to enter countries via whatever mechanism (ie “illegal” is irrelevant). Not sure if that’s the issue here. But the mention of international obligations in the article makes me imagine it’s something similar

      Yep. It’s a human rights violation to criminalize asylum-seekers.
