The new date is Jun 30, 2022.
The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that the Trump administration can no longer force asylum seekers to stay in Mexico as they await an immigration hearing in the U.S.
The Biden administration had the authority to get rid of the Migrant Protection Protocols, known as the "Remain in Mexico" policy, according to a ruling by the Supreme Court.
Both district and appeals courts in Texas and Missouri ruled in favor of the states when they sued the administration after it repealed the Trump-era policy.
The justices ruled that the lower courts were wrong to uphold the policy.
The court ruled that if the government doesn't have enough space for asylum seekers, they don't have to be kept in immigration detention or sent to Mexico.
The appeals court found that the policy imposed a significant burden on the White House's diplomatic relations with Mexico.
Around 70 thousand. That is how many immigrants were forced to return to Mexico under the MPP policy, according to the American Immigration Council.
The Trump administration reversed a previous policy that allowed asylum-seekers to stay in the U.S. as they waited for their immigration trials in order to implement the "Remain in Mexico" policy. The attorneys general of Missouri and Texas argued in their lawsuit that the administration did not explain why they ended the policy. A Trump-appointed federal judge sided with the GOP-led states and forced the White House to re-impose the policy in August, and the conservative 5th Circuit Court of Appeals sided against the Biden administration in December. In August, the Supreme Court sided with the district judge and refused to allow the policy to remain in effect.
The story will be changed.
Biden can toss Trump's "remain in Mexico" policy if the Supreme Court rules in his favor.
The Supreme Court wants Biden to return to Mexico to continue the asylum policy.
The Biden administration wants to end the policy of remaining in Mexico.
