A San Francisco judge has blocked Donald Trump's policy of returning asylum seekers to Mexico as they wait for an immigration court to hear their cases.

Judge Richard Seeborg says the policy lacks sufficient protections to ensure migrants don't face "undue risk to their lives or freedom" in Mexico.
