The Trump administration on Tuesday formally asked the Supreme Court to block a nationwide ban on the administration's new asylum policy that was unilaterally instituted by a Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals judge last month.
In a November news conference days before the midterm elections, Trump had vowed to turn away all asylum seekers who attempt to cross the border illegally instead of properly presenting themselves at ports of entry.
The president, who has long said the asylum process is rife with fraud, said the emergency policy was necessary as the leading Central American migrant caravan approached the U.S. border with Mexico.
However, U.S. District Judge Jon S. Tigar, who was nominated by President Obama in 2012 to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, issued a temporary restraining order two weeks later that brought a halt to the plan.
Last week, a separate federal appeals court in San Francisco said the ban was inconsistent with federal law and represented an attempted end-run around Congress.
But, the Trump administration said in court papers filed Tuesday that the nationwide order preventing the policy from taking effect "is deeply flawed" and should be lifted pending an appeal that could reach the high court.

Sums it up nicely...
My question is...Why does the President even bother to pay attention to what they say? The previous administration ignored everyone to do what it wanted.
He’s the Commander in Chief. Order DHS, CBP, & ICE to enforce his rules on asylum. Is the judge from the 9th circuit going to go down there himself and force them?
At the same time, start pushing for the break up of the 9th Court to release their Libera/Progressive stranglehold on everything.
they already did
what difference does it make the law is for the peasants anyway...let’s roll
