A federal judge has ruled that the Trump administration cannot deny entry to people crossing the southern border to apply for asylum. The court found that neither the constitution nor federal immigration law allow the president to make that decision.

120. Upon arrival at CECOT, the detainees were greeted by a prison official who stated,
"Welcome to CECOT. Whoever enters here doesn't leave." Plaintiff Abrego Garcia was then
forced to strip, issued prison clothing, and subjected to physical abuse including being kicked in

was shaved with a zero razor, and he was frog-marched to cell 15, being struck with wooden batons
along the way. By the following day, Plaintiff Abrego Garcia had visible bruises and lumps all over his body.
