Texas sues Biden for rescinding Trump's 'Remain in Mexico' policy [View all]
Source: The Hill
The state of Texas sued the Biden administration Tuesday seeking to reinstate a Trump-era policy that forced migrants arriving at the southern border to wait in Mexico while applying for asylum.
President Biden in his first days in office directed the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to develop a replacement for the policy known as "Remain in Mexico" that forced more than 60,000 asylum seekers south across the border.
“The result of this arbitrary and capricious decision has been a huge surge of Central American migrants, including thousands of unaccompanied minors, passing through Mexico in order to advance meritless asylum claims at the U.S. border,” Texas wrote in its suit, filed alongside Missouri in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas.
Biden’s DHS in February announced that those who had been removed to Mexico under Trump’s Migrant Protection Protocols policy could begin to enter the U.S. DHS started by opening three ports of entry and processing up to 300 people per day.
