A federal appeals court panel Thursday approved the Biden administration’s emergency request to keep its asylum restrictions in place on the U.S.-Mexico border while the legal battle over the policy makes its way through the courts.

The 2 to 1 decision grants a reprieve to the Biden administration, which feared losing a critical border management tool at the end of the day on Tuesday.

Judges William A. Fletcher and Richard A. Paez stayed a lower court’s ruling that would have ended the asylum restrictions on Tuesday, as the administration is struggling with rising numbers of border crossings. The judges said they would consider the appeal on an expedited schedule, at least through September, and possibly longer.

    I believe the primary issue is that Congress has refused appropriate funds to support immigrants and asylum seekers, which creates the appearance of an immigration crisis.

    The Biden administration has no interest in arbitrarily reducing immigration or preventing people from finding asylum, they just don’t have unlimited funds to do whatever they want.

    Their actions, while not optimal, essentially prevent the limited systems from being overwhelmed. Biden and the administration hate this outcome, but it’s conservatives controlling the purse strings that should be blamed.

      The issue is that federal agencies like ICE and CBP under the direction of the Biden administration are violently persecuting people fleeing the effects of climate change and the Biden administration is going to court to ensure they can continue doing so
