The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals handed President Trump's administration a win on Tuesday after it ruled the government can send asylum-seekers back to Mexico to wait for a court to adjudicate their petitions.

The judges approved the policy in part due to Mexico's commitment to ensure the safety of the asylum-seekers.

Couple more Trump appointed judges and you may be right!
