DHS: More than 1,600 migrants have been returned to Mexico

CNN  

Washington CNN — The US has returned more than 1,600 migrants to Mexico to await immigration hearings, according to the Department of Homeland Security. The individuals have been returned under the Migrant Protection Protocols policy, informally known as Remain in Mexico, that requires some asylum seekers to wait in Mexico until their immigration hearing. The policy has drawn the ire of immigration advocates and lawyers who argue that it puts migrants who are predominantly from Northern Triangle countries and seeking asylum in the US in harm’s way. It’s since expanded to include Calexico port of entry, San Diego sector, Paso del Norte port of entry, El Paso sector and El Centro sector, according to DHS.
