US Supreme Court allows ‘Remain in Mexico’ to stay in place

Al Jazeera  

Immigrant rights groups blast the ruling, saying the policy endangers thousands along the US-Mexico border. Had the Supreme Court allowed the decision to remain, asylum seekers who crossed the border in Arizona and California would not have been subject to the Migrant Protection Protocols. Asylum seekers face grave danger and irreversible harm every day this depraved policy remains in effect,” Judy Rabinovitz, special counsel in the American Civil Liberties Union’s Immigrants’ Rights Project, said in a statement after the ruling. Under the policy, asylum seekers are briefly processed by US border agents and given a date to return for an immigration court hearing before being sent back across the southern border. According to US Solicitor General Noel Francisco, the policy has allowed US border agents to send roughly 60,000 asylum seekers to Mexico to wait for their trial date since it was enacted in January 2019.
