The Supreme Court announced Monday it will hear a challenge to a border policy aimed at preventing migrant surges by stopping asylum-seekers from reaching U.S. soil to make their claim.

The “metering” policy was implemented during President Donald Trump’s first term in 2018, but was rescinded by former President Joe Biden and has not been restored by the current Trump administration. The policy aimed to stop asylum-seekers from being able to “arrive” on U.S. soil to make their claim by stopping them before reaching the American side of the border .
