Migrants for a court hearing in the US.
That鈥檚 been the case for asylum seekers since 2019 when the Trump administration introduced Migrant Protection Protocols or MPP.
The policy is more commonly referred to as 鈥淩emain in Mexico鈥� and has been trying to end it since last year.
The Department of Homeland Security explained why in a statement, saying, 鈥淢PP has endemic flaws, imposes unjustifiable human costs, and pulls resources and personnel away from other priority efforts to secure our border.鈥�
But Republican-led states including Texas and Missouri blocked those attempts to wind down the policy in a legal battle that made its way to the Supreme Court. A decision was issued in June that allowedthe administration to legally terminate the program. But and migrants continue to be at risk and in danger.
So, what will the next steps look like? And what kind of impression has Remain in Mexico left on immigration policy in the U.S.?
