Trump’s Policies are Back – Biden Can’t Resist
In reaction to an injunction supported by the Supreme Court, the DHS said it is going to re-instate the Trump term “Remain in Mexico” ruling. This will happen by mid-November, while it tries to dismantle the program through a different path.
The Courts Have Spoken
In response to allegations from Texas (as well as Missouri) that the government’s attempt to discontinue the program was illegal and damaging, a federal judge ordered the Biden government to “enforce and administer” the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP). The verdict was upheld by the Supreme Court.
The Trump administration introduced and extended MPP in 2019; MPP involves returning immigrants to Mexico instead of releasing them in the United States while their immigration cases are being resolved.
Even as migrant numbers soared, the Biden government started dismantling MPP earlier this year; it was even formally abolished in June before a court ruling prompted a reversal.
