Court Rules Against Trump's "Remain in Mexico" Policy, Then Stays Decision
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Asylum seekers at the U.S.-Mexico border were left confused and
frustrated after a federal appeals court ruled Friday that Trump's
so-called Remain in Mexico policy was invalid - but just hours later
stayed its own decision to allow for the Trump administration to appeal.
Some 60,000 asylum seekers have been forced to wait in Mexico in
dangerous and often squalid conditions while their claims make their way
through U.S. courts, which can take months or even years.
