Supreme Court puts a pause on Remain in Mexico program.
August 24, 2021
Supreme Court Justice Alito temporarily paused a ruling by a Texas federal judge which required the Biden administration to bring back the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP). MPP, also known as Remain in Mexico, forced asylum seekers arriving at the U.S. – Mexico border to wait for approval in Mexico. Alito granted the Biden administration an administrative stay, allowing the administration’s revocation to stand “so that the full court can consider the application.” The court will make an official decision on the program Tuesday. Justice Alito also ordered Texas and Missouri to answer the administration’s arguments by Tuesday.
