Biden administration expands entry of migrants kept in Mexico under Trump
Fox News
The Biden administration announced Tuesday that it is expanding the entry of migrants into the U.S. who had been kept in Mexico as part of the Trump-era Migrant Protection Protocol (MPP) – even as migrants continue to surge toward the border in record numbers.
It unravels one of the core policies put in place by the Trump administration to deal with the 2019 crisis. The expansion of MPP, with Mexican cooperation, saw migrants held south of the border while their cases were heard at nearby court tents. Proponents said it ended the pull factor by not allowing migrants to be allowed into the U.S. just by making an initial asylum claim, but critics said it was cruel and kept migrants in danger.More Related News
