Nacion Barreira ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN FRANCISCO An appeals court Thursday al- lowed a rule restricting asylum at the southern border to stay in place. The decision is a major win for the Biden administra- tion, which had argued that the rule was integral to its efforts to maintain or- der along the U.S.-Mexico border. The new rule makes it extremely difficult for peo- ple to be granted asylum unless they first seek pro- tection in a country traveling through on their way to the U.S. or apply on- line. It includes room for exceptions and does not apply to children traveling alone.

The decision by the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Ap- peals grants a temporary reprieve from a lower court decision that had found the policy illegal and or- dered the government to end its use by this coming Monday. The government had gone quickly to the ap- peals court asking for the rule to be allowed to re- main in use while the larger court battles surrounding its legality play out. The new asylum rule was put in place back in May. At the time, the U.S.

was end- ing use of a different policy called Title 42, which had allowed the government to swiftly expel migrants with- out letting them seek asy- lum. The stated purpose was to protect Americans from the coronavirus. The administration was concerned about a surge of migrants coming to the U.S. post-Title 42 because the migrants would finally be able to apply for asylum. The government said the new asylum rule was an im- portant tool to control mi- gration.

Rights groups sued, say- ing the new rule endan- gered migrants by leaving them in northern Mexico as they waited to score an appointment on the CBP One app the government is using to grant migrants the opportunity to come to the border and seek asylum. The groups argued that people are allowed to seek asylum regardless of where or how they cross the bor- der and that the govern- ment app is faulty. The groups also have ar- gued that the government is overestimating the im- portance of the new rule in controlling migration. They say that when the U.S. ended the use of Title 42, it went back to called Title 8 processing of mi- grants.

That type of pro- cessing has much stronger repercussions for migrants who are deported, such as a five-year bar on reenter- ing the U.S. Those conse- quences not the asylum rule were more import- ant in stemming migration after May 11, the groups ar- gue. government has no evidence that the Rule it- self is responsible for the decrease in crossings be- tween ports after Title 42 the groups wrote in court briefs. But the government has argued that the rule is a fundamental part of its im- migration policy of encour- aging people to use lawful pathways to come to the U.S. and imposing strong consequences on those who The govern- ment stressed the mous that would come if it could no longer use the rule.

Rule is of para- mount importance to the orderly management of the immigration sys- tem at the southwest bor- the government wrote. The government also ar- gued that it was better to keep the rule in place while the lawsuit plays out in the coming months to prevent a whereby Homeland Secu- rity staff process asylum seekers without the rule for a while only to revert to using it again should the government ultimately pre- vail on the merits of the case. Court allows Biden asylum restrictions to stay in place.
