Supreme Court hears arguments on ending a Trump-era immigration policy that forces people seeking asylum in the U.S. to wait in Mexico.
The Biden administration is seeking the Supreme Court’s go-ahead to end a controversial Trump-era immigration programThe justices are hearing arguments Tuesday in the administration’s appeal of lower-court rulings that required immigration officials to reinstate the “Remain in Mexico” policy that the administration “has twice determined is not in the interests of the United States,” according to court filings.
About 70,000 people were enrolled in the program, formally known as Migrant Protection Protocols, after President Trump launched it in 2019 and made it a centerpiece of efforts to deterPresident Biden suspended it on his first day in office and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro N. Mayorkas ended it in June 2021. In October, the DHS produced additional justifications for the policy’s demise, to no avail in the courts.Ricardo Zúniga says the U.S.
The heart of the legal fight is whether the program is discretionary and can be ended, as the administration argues, or is essentially the only way to comply with what the states say is a congressional command not to release immigrants into the United States. The two sides separately disagree about whether the way the administration went about ending the policy complies with a federal law that compels agencies to follow rules and spell out reasons for their actions.
