WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to hear two cases involving Trump administration policies at the U.S.-Mexico border: one about a policy that makes asylum-seekers wait in Mexico for U.S.
court hearings and a second about the administration's use of money to fund the border wall.The justices’ decision to hear the cases continues its practice of reviewing lower court rulings that have found President Donald Trump's immigration policies illegal over the past four years.Most notably, the high court reviewed and ultimately upheld Trump's travel ban on visitors from some largely Muslim countries.
In June, the court kept in place legal protections for immigrants who came to the U.S. as children.The justices will not hear either new.
