Mullin v Al Otro Lado — government wins on asylum metering

Conservative majority has consistently sided with executive immigration authority (Trump v Hawaii 2018, DHS v Thuraissigiam 2020, Biden v Texas 2022). Question: must asylum seekers presenting at border be inspected and entered into asylum process, or can CBP turn them back? Government argues 8 USC 1158 and Article II discretion permit metering/turnback. Roberts/Alito/Thomas/Gorsuch reliable on executive immigration deference; Kavanaugh/Barrett likely to join. Plaintiffs' best shot is Kavanaugh writing narrow opinion with procedural protections.
