, a Trump-era border policy also known as “Remain in Mexico” that forced asylum seekers to wait in Mexico while their case was adjudicated in the U.S. Yet one month after that decision, the Biden Administration still has not ended the policy.
Some experts say the Biden Administration may be moving carefully on ending MPP to avoid another months-long legal battle. “There has been continual pushback,, to the Administration’s executive actions,” says Doris Meissner, senior fellow and director of the U.S. Immigration Policy Program at the Migration Policy Institute , a nonpartisan research organization. “Everything has to be absolutely dot-the-I’s cross-the-T’s, because we’re seeing a pattern here that is likely to continue.
The Biden Administration attempted to end MPP in June 2021, but was blocked from doing so by a judge for the Northern District of Texas who issued an injunction after the conservative Attorneys General from Texas and Missouri sued.
Still, immigrant advocates are increasing pressure on DHS to move faster. “Their hands aren’t tied,” says Blaine Bookey, legal director of the Center for Gender and Refugee Studies at the University of California, Hastings. “Every single day [MPP is] in place it’s causing harm, it’s endangering lives, and it’s frankly allowing the Trump Administration to rule from the grave.”The Biden Administration could take steps to prepare for the end of MPP while the court procedure unfolds.
MPP began in January 2019, and by the time Donald Trump left office, about 71,000 asylum seekers were placed in the program. Local shelters in Mexican border cities
