A federal appeals court on Friday ruled that President Donald Trump’s proclamation describing migration at the U.S.-Mexico border as an “invasion” and using that finding to suspend access to asylum exceeds the authority Congress granted in immigration law. The decision from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit could require the government to restart at-the-border asylum processing, though the administration has indicated it plans to seek further review.
José Antonio Kast, presidential candidate of the Republican Party, defended his initiative for irregular immigrants to pay for their exit from Chile. At a campaign event, he detailed that they will have 133 days to leave voluntarily with their belongings or face expulsion without benefits. The proposal has drawn criticism from rivals like Jeannette Jara and Evelyn Matthei.
