S.Mexico border and who “‘were or will be denied access to the U.S. asylum process by or at the instruction of ’” border officials. Al Otro Lado v. Mayorkas, 619 F. Supp. 3d 1029, 1033, n. 2 (SD Cal. 2022). They asked the court for an injunction against the Government’s “metering” practice, which temporarily prevented class members from entering the country to be inspected under §1225.

They also asked the court to appoint a magistrate judge as a “special master . . . to monitor and oversee” the Government’s “implementation of all class- wide injunctive relief.” 619 F. Supp. 3d, at 1036.
