More migrants being returned to Mexico after Supreme Court order reinstates Trump-era policy

A Supreme Court order reinstating the Trump-era "Remain-in-Mexico" policy is already having an effect, with Border Patrol officials telling Fox News they have started turning away more migrants trying to enter the U.S.

In a 6-3 decision last month, the court denied a request by the Biden administration to stop a federal court ruling ordering the administration to reinstate the policy – officially called the Migrant Protection Protocols – which was a major 2019 border security program that kept migrants in Mexico as they awaited their hearings. Critics called the policy, which led to the establishment of tent courts across the border, cruel and dangerous for migrants. The Trump administration said the policy ended catch-and-release, reducing the pull factors bringing migrants north. Biden began dismantling the policy shortly after entering office, and formally ended it in June as one of a number of moves the administration made to reverse President Donald Trump’s border policies.
