Supreme Court says Biden can end "Remain in Mexico" rule for asylum-seekers
CBSN
The Supreme Court on Thursday cleared the way for the Biden administration to end the so-called "Remain in Mexico" policy, a program first implemented under President Donald Trump that required asylum-seekers to await their court hearings in Mexico.
In a 5-4 opinion authored by Chief Justice John Roberts, the high court rejected arguments by Republican-led states seeking to force officials to keep the policy, ruling the decision to end it did not violate a 1996 migrant detention law and that a second memo terminating the program should have been considered by lower courts.

Robert Morris, founding pastor of Gateway Church, a megachurch in Southlake, Texas, has been indicted on five counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child, stemming from alleged incidents dating back to the 1980s, the Oklahoma attorney general's office announced Wednesday. We are aware of the actions being taken by the legal authorities in Oklahoma and are grateful for the work of the justice system in holding abusers accountable for their actions. We continue to pray for Cindy Clemishire and her family, for the members and staff of Gateway Church, and for all of those impacted by this terrible situation.
