NEW YORK: The Trump administration on Wednesday (Jun 10) faced its first legal challenge to a policy that has nearly halted the United States asylum system as well as admissions of migrants at the US border with Mexico. 

A 16-year-old Honduran boy awaiting deportation from the US under a Trump administration order issued in March, which curtailed immigration due to the COVID-19 pandemic, sued the US government in federal court in Washington DC late on Tuesday.
