Mullin v. Al Otro Lado · ¶23

The District Court certified a class of all noncitizens who “seek or will seek to access” the asylum process “by presenting themselves” at certain ports on the U. S.-Mexico border and “were or will be denied access” to that process by CBP officials. App. to Pet. for Cert. 300a, n. 3. The court then granted summary judgment for the class and declared that the Government’s “denial of inspection or asylum processing” to class members “who are in the process of arriving in the United States” is “unlawful regardless of the purported justification for doing so.” Id., at 253a. The administration rescinded the metering policy in November 2021, shortly after the District Court ruled the policy unlawful.
