The US plans to relaunch the Trump-era 'Remain in Mexico' border program in response to a court order. Mexico must still sign off.
The Biden administration plans to relaunch the Trump-era border program known as"Remain in Mexico" on Monday due to a court order, meaning the US will again send migrants to Mexico to await their immigration court hearings, administration officials announced Thursday.
Restarting the program is still pending final approval from Mexico, which is expected soon after the formal US announcement. The program, which forces non-Mexican migrants to stay in Mexico until their immigration court dates in the US, was suspended at the beginning of President Joe Biden's term and formally terminated months later.
