Supreme Court says Biden can end "Remain in Mexico" rule for asylum-seekers

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.

To identify and stop the next potential pandemic, government disease detectives have been discreetly searching for viral pathogens in wastewater from airplanes. Experts are worried that these efforts may not be enough.
