Biden to restart Trump 'Remain in Mexico' policy 'as promptly as possible'
Fox News
The Biden administration is planning to promptly reinstate the Trump-era "Remain in Mexico" policy that requires asylum seekers at the U.S. southern border to remain in Mexico while awaiting their hearings.
"In compliance with the court order, we are working to reimplement MPP as promptly as possible. We cannot do so until we have the independent agreement from the government of Mexico to accept those we seek to enroll in MPP. We will communicate to the court and to the public the timing of reimplementation when we are prepared to do so," the spokesperson added.
Established by the Trump administration in January 2019, the "Remain in Mexico" policy, or MPP, returned migrants to Mexico to await asylum hearings instead of keeping them in the United States.
