US to give asylum seekers who skipped court date another shot
Fox News
The U.S. will now allow asylum seekers whose claims were denied or dismissed under the Trump administration due to a missed court date under the “Remain-in-Mexico” policy to seek refuge again.
The move amounts to a significant step by the Biden administration to reverse the effects of Trump-era policies they’ve deemed inhumane. "As part of our continued effort to restore safe, orderly, and humane processing at the Southwest Border, DHS will expand the pool of MPP-enrolled individuals who are eligible for processing into the United States," a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson told Fox News. "Beginning June 23, 2021, DHS will include MPP enrollees who had their cases terminated or were ordered removed in absentia (i.e., individuals ordered removed while not present at their hearings). DHS will continue to process for entry into the United States MPP enrollees with pending proceedings."More Related News
