Supreme Court to weigh if Nigerian who cooked for terrorists can be denied asylum
The Trump administration appealed after a lower court ruled that a Nigerian man couldn’t be denied asylum for spending six months cooking for a terrorist group.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets center the Supreme Court’s decision to hear the asylum case and frame it around whether cooking for a terrorist group counts as “material support.” NBC News foregrounds the Trump administration’s effort to deny asylum, while The Hill adds the detail that the man was allegedly held captive when he cooked for the group, a point absent from NBC’s extract.
