Ninth Circuit Stays Injunction Barring Biden Asylum Rule from Going Into Effect

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit stayed the injunction entered by Judge Jon Tigar barring the Biden administration’s proposed asylum rule.  Judge Willie Fletcher and Richard Paez agreed on the stay.  Judge Lawrence VanDyke, a Trump appointee, dissented, not because he agreed with the lower court ruling but because the Ninth Circuit, in his view, had allowed injunctions barring some of similar President Trump’s immigration policies to go into effect.  See the Associated Press report here.
