DHS allowing some migrants rejected under Trump-era ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy into US

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced Wednesday it will allow some migrants, who were rejected under the Trump-era “Remain in Mexico” policy, into the United States as their asylum cases are heard.
The Trump administration said the policy was successful in ending the practice of "catch and release" -- by which migrants would be apprehended and then allowed into the U.S. for their hearings, and which officials said was a "pull factor" encouraging migration to the border. Opponents said it was a cruel practice that left tens of thousands of migrants in danger as they waited at the border for their cases -- a vast majority of which would be rejected. The Biden administration ended the policy and has been allowing migrants enrolled in the program into the U.S. -- but until this week that only applied to those with open cases.More Related News
