The White House issued a sharp response after a federal judge temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s executive order that had barred Mexican citizens from seeking asylum if they crossed the U.S. border illegally.

The decision, issued by U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss, an appointee of former President Obama, placed a hold on Trump’s asylum policy, arguing that it was inconsistent with existing immigration laws and constitutional protections. The ruling allows the federal government two weeks to file an appeal.

Stephen Miller, a senior Trump advisor and deputy chief of staff for policy, condemned the decision on social media, criticizing the judge’s reasoning and framing the ruling as judicial overreach.

“To try to circumvent the Supreme Court ruling on nationwide injunctions, a Marxist judge has declared that all potential FUTURE illegal aliens on foreign soil… are part of a protected global ‘class’ entitled to admission into the United States,” Miller wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
