Supreme Court To Hear Biden Administration's Appeal Over "Remain In Mexico"

The Supreme Court agreed on Friday to hear the Biden administration’s
appeal over a Trump-era immigration policy that requires asylum
seekers to wait in Mexico until their case is heard, instead of being
allowed to await their hearings in the United States.

Lower court rulings had forced the administration to reinstate the
“Remain in Mexico” policy, officially called the Migrant Protection
Protocols (MPP), that was implemented under the Trump administration
in 2019.

Mark Morgan, who was acting commissioner of Customs and Border
Protection at the time, told The Epoch Times that the MPP was “​​the
most significant game-changer” and largely responsible for a 75
percent drop in illegal crossings.

Arguments will take place in April. A decision is expected by late June.

President Joe Biden had suspended the MPP on his first day in office
in January 2021 and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
officially terminated it in June. But the administration restarted the
policy in early December 2021, in El Paso, Texas, after it was ordered
by a lower court to do so.

U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk had ruled on Aug. 14, 2021, that
the Biden administration had to revive the program, after Texas and
Missouri sued the administration for having ended the MPP, saying that
the decision worsened conditions at the border.

The Supreme Court had declined to intervene on Aug. 24 after the Biden
administration filed an emergency motion requesting a stay of
Kacsmaryk’s order.

Despite the court order, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro
Mayorkas tried to end the program again in October 2021 via a new
memorandum. He argued that while the policy “likely contributed to
reduced migratory flows,” it did so “by imposing substantial and
unjustifiable human costs on the individuals who were exposed to harm
while waiting in Mexico.”

An appeals court upheld the judge’s ruling, finding that the Biden
administration erred in ending the program.

In December 2021, the Justice Department asked the Supreme Court to
hear the case, arguing that the appeals court’s decision was made in
error.

Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.) on Feb. 16 sought an opinion from the
Government Accountability Office on whether Mayorkas’s memo is subject
to the Congressional Review Act, which would mean that Congress could
overrule the Biden administration’s move to end the policy.
