A federal judge has blocked the Biden administration’s new rules for asylum-seekers at the U.S.-Mexico border.

In his order, U.S. District Judge Jon Tigar in Oakland, Calif, called the rules “arbitrary and capricious.”

But Tigar stayed his ruling for 14 days to give the Biden administration a chance to appeal.
