GOP bill would bring back Trump-era migrant policy nixed by Biden: 'Statement of resolve'
Fox News
New legislation introduced Thursday would reinstate Trump-era agreements with Central American countries to stop migrants from claiming asylum.
The agreements allowed the U.S. to send migrants to those countries to claim asylum if they passed through them on the way to the U.S. They also required migrants who cross through those countries to seek protection there instead of at the U.S. border.

Transfers under the Guatemala agreement had been paused since mid-March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the agreements with El Salvador and Honduras were never implemented. The Biden administration terminated the agreements in 2021.
