Federal Judge REFUSES to block new Trump restriction on asylum

[AP via Right Scoop] A federal judge says the Trump administration can enforce its new restrictions on asylum for people crossing the U.S.-Mexico border while lawsuits challenging the policy play out.

U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly in Washington has refused to grant a temporary restraining order. Another hearing on a similar suit is scheduled later Wednesday in California.

Kelly says the immigrant advocacy groups that sued didn’t prove that their work would be "irreparably harmed" if the policy went into effect.

The proposal prevents most migrants from seeking asylum in the U.S. if they passed through another country first.

#3 ...with a public statement to SCOTUS to clean their own house of this game of conflicting judicial dictates. With a warning that if they don't, then he'll choose the one to follow.

SCOTUS has the authority in their own branch to direct which region has jurisdiction on subjects like this.

#4 I think this refusal to block was a sub-panel of the court and the reversal was the same court but the full panel, so no conflict of dictates.
