Biden must revive Trump-era Remain-in-Mexico program after Supreme Court ruling – By Camilo Montoyo-Galvez (CBS News) / Aug 25 2021
The Supreme Court issued an order late Tuesday declining to stop the revival of a Trump-era border policy that requires asylum-seekers to wait in Mexico while their cases are reviewed by U.S. immigration judges.
The high court’s conservative supermajority denied the Biden administration’s emergency request to continue the suspension of a federal judge’s order that requires U.S. border officials to reinstate the so-called “Remain-in-Mexico” program.
Since the current hold on the lower court judge’s ruling expires at midnight on Tuesday, the Biden administration will be legally mandated to implement the Trump-era border rule on Wednesday.
Justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor and Stephen Breyer, who make up the Supreme Court’s liberal minority, indicated they would have granted the Biden administration’s request.
