Trump's so-called 'invasion' asylum ban is set to face the Supreme Court justices. The case comes as President Trump's chief of staff Stephen Miller argues that federal judges do not have authority to rule on issues such as immigration. Legal experts anticipate significant pushback in court against the administration's hard-line agenda, which Miller is expected to push aggressively.

“President Trump's chief of staff, Stephen Miller, says federal judges don't have authority to rule on issues such as immigration.”
