U.S. Supreme Court orders ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy reinstated

In a statement, the Department of Homeland Security said it would continue to challenge the district court’s order.

The Supreme Court on August 25 said the Biden administration likely violated federal law in trying to end a Trump-era program that forces people to wait in Mexico while seeking asylum in the US. With three liberal justices in dissent, the high court refused to block a ordering the administration to reinstate the program informally known as Remain in Mexico. It’s not clear how many people will be affected and how quickly. Under the lower court ruling, the administration must make a “good faith effort” to restart the program.
