Missouri AG 'optimistic' ahead of hearing challenging Biden reversal of 'Remain-in-Mexico' policy
Fox News
Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt says he is optimistic ahead of a key hearing in a case challenging the Biden administration’s reversal of the Trump-era "Remain-in-Mexico" policy.
"We are hopeful for a favorable ruling because it is clear that the Biden administration didn’t consider anything relevant to how it was working or notice and comment, and obviously we have a crisis at the border now," Schmitt told Fox News in an interview Wednesday "Anyone who is paying attention knows we have a 21-year high in border crossings, drug traffickers, and human traffickers have been emboldened, and that affects not just Texas but states like Missouri." The policy, set up in agreement with Mexico, saw tens of thousands of migrants kept in Mexico as they awaited their hearings, instead of being released into the U.S. Their asylum claims were processed in tent courts set up at border points.More Related News
