The U.S. 5th Circuit Court has now rejected the Biden Administration’s attempt to strike down the Trump era ‘remain in Mexico’ policy.
The Details: The remain in Mexico policy had required asylum seekers to physically remain in Mexico while their cases for asylum were being considered in the US court system.
Why it Matters: The ruling is a major setback for the Biden administration, who has received major criticism from many on the progressive left for it’s inability to scrap the Trump-era policy.
What People are Saying:
The takeaway — to me — is that MPP/Remain in Mexico is likely here for the near future, if not longer.

🚨BREAKING from last night: The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the nationwide permanent injunction requiring the Biden Admin to reinstate the Migrant Protection Protocols or "Remain in Mexico" Policy. Yet another big win for our office. #BidenBorderCrisis pic.twitter.com/aN27kVXE37

We negotiated the Remain in Mexico policy to ensure asylum seekers at our southern border did not come into our country illegally & stay unlawfully. It was tremendously successful in helping stop illegal immigration.

The Biden Administration should fully enforce it.
