In the latest twist for a signature Trump administration immigration policy, a federal appeals court said it is halting a policy next week to make asylum-seekers wait in Mexico for court hearings in the United States. But the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco said Wednesday, March 4, 2020, that it would only block the "Remain in Mexico" policy in Arizona and California, the two border states where its authority extends.
