Supreme Court delays oral arguments on border wall and asylum rule The Supreme Court agreed Wednesday to postpone oral arguments in significant cases regarding former President Donald Trump’s border wall and a controversial asylum policy. Earlier this week, President Joe Biden’s Justice Department asked the Supreme Court to delay the arguments. The Justice Department said Biden has directed a “pause in construction” so that the administration can undertake an assessment “of the legality of the funding and contracting methods used to construct the wall.” The American Civil Liberties Union, Sierra Club and Southern Border Communities Coalition asked the Supreme Court last year to block the construction the wall.
