Large anti-migrant marches did take place in Poland, but the documented wave was in July 2025, when far-right groups and football fans marched in about 80 Polish towns. Treating that footage as a new “just in” event is misleading.

The Supreme Court on Nov. 13, 2026, agreed to review the Trump administration's January 2025 asylum suspension at the southern border, which lower courts had ruled unlawful. Arguments are expected in spring 2027.

What the hosts said

BThe Supreme Court just took up the asylum ban—the one lower courts blocked.
BBlocked is right. Two lower courts said it was unlawful.
BAnd now the justices will settle it. Arguments expected in spring of twenty-seven.
BThis is the January twenty twenty-five order that suspended asylum at the southern border.
BRight. Owen Gregorian posted on X about the AP report.
BSo this isn't just border policy anymore. It's a fight over presidential power.
BThat's the heart of it. Can a president suspend asylum on his own?
BMy answer is no. Congress writes immigration law. The president can't erase it by decree.
BBut there is a crisis at the border. Washington has failed for decades.
BThen the president should go through Congress. Emergency power can't swallow the law.
BCongress can't even pass a budget half the time! The president has to act.
BSo a broken Congress lets one person rewrite asylum law? That's not how the Constitution works.
BIt's not rewriting the law. It's a temporary suspension to control the border.
BIt's a suspension that left people no hearing, no claim. That is the whole asylum system.
BThe system was being gamed. People show up, claim asylum, and wait years.
BThen fix that mess. But don't shut the door entirely.
BThe court will decide if the president has that tool. I think there's a real case for it.
BThere's a case. I just don't like where it leads.
BFair. The announcement came Friday, November thirteenth.
BSo we're months away from a final answer.
BAnd this is now one more immigration case on the court's docket.
BAnd what's the alternative—let one person erase due process because Congress is slow?
BIt's not erasing due process. It's saying the border has to be a real line.
BIt is a real line. But asylum is a legal right.
BUnder law passed by Congress—if Congress can't adapt, the executive has to.
BThat's the argument for every power grab in history.
BOh, come on. That's a stretch and you know it.
BMaybe. But the slippery slope is real.
BWhich is why the court exists. I'm glad they took the case.
BSo am I. A clear ruling beats endless emergency measures.
BAgreed. Now we wait.
BDifferent world entirely—Poland.
BWhat's happening there?
BRabindra posted on X: just in, thousands take to the streets in Poland.
BThat sounds new.
BIt isn't. Those marches happened in July of twenty twenty-five.
BWait—so old video with a new date?
BExactly. Al Jazeera documented far-right groups and football fans in about eighty Polish towns.
BSo the anger's real, but the new event framing is fake.
BThat's what makes it dangerous. People see it and think it's today.
BThe migration debate in Poland is real. A false timestamp poisons it.
BRight. The underlying issue deserves an honest fight.
BInstead, it gets recycled as breaking news.
BAnd while we're on border claims, there's one more.
BOh no.
BM.A. Rothman posted on X: a five-hundred-person caravan.
BInto Mexico?
BRight after Democrats won the midterms, his post claims.
BCan we confirm that?
BI looked. No named news report backs it up.
BSo one recycled protest, one uncorroborated caravan.
BWelcome to Saturday on X.
BI'm not putting either on air as fact.
BNeither am I. But it shows how fast border politics moves.
BIt also shows why you have to check the date.
BExactly. That's the job.
