- The administration defends the action as necessary for national security, while the newspaper views it as a threat to press freedom.
- This dispute underscores the ongoing tension between government secrecy and the public’s right to be informed.

- The Supreme Court overturned a lower court’s injunction that halted a policy restricting the number of asylum seekers processed daily at the southern border.
- Originally implemented under Obama and expanded by Trump, the policy limited how many migrants could apply for asylum each day.
- Advocates argue this caused unsafe conditions for migrants, while supporters claim it was essential for managing increased border crossings.
- The decision affirmed that migrants are not officially ‘arrived’ until physically entering the U.S., affecting their right to immediate asylum processing.
regrettably and tragically extinguishes the light of the torch of the Statue of Liberty.— Justice Sonia Sotomayor, in dissent to the Supreme Court’s ruling on the metering policy for asylum seekers at the border
