State Coalition Calls on SCOTUS to Rule Against Biden-Harris in Asylum Case

A 15-state coalition led by Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody is calling on the U.S. Supreme Court to weigh in on a multi-jurisdictional asylum case.

Moody previously led a 17-state coalition calling on the Ninth Circuit to do the same.

At issue are multiple lawsuits filed over a Department of Homeland Security asylum policy, created through a “Circumvention of Lawful Pathways” rule. It codified aspects of the Los Angeles Declaration of Migration and Protection, endorsed by 21 countries in June 2022.

The declaration “specifically lays out the goal of collectively expanding access to regular pathways for migrants and refugees into the United States,” according to a February 2023 Federal Register entry.
