Biden again rescinds Remain in Mexico amid legal battle
The Biden administration is once again rescinding former President Trump's Remain in Mexico policy in an effort to battle a court ruling forcing the new administration to carry out the controversial policy often viewed as a roadblock to seeking asylum.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) first moved in June to scrap the policy, which Trump introduced in 2019, forcing would-be asylum seekers from a number of countries to await a potential ruling in their case in Mexico.
But that prompted a suit and initial victory from Texas and Missouri, which argued the Biden administration too hastily withdrew the policy, under which the U.S. transported 70,000 asylum-seekers to Mexico to await a determination in their case.
In drafting a new memo to rescind what's formally called the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) the Biden administration is taking a page out of the Trump playbook, using court rulings to sharpen the legal reasoning behind its decisions.
