This policy was terminated in a memo issued by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. In the memo, Mayorkas said the MPP 'does not adequately or sustainably enhance border management in such a way as to justify the program's extensive operational burdens and other shortfalls.'
The Biden Administration formally ended the Trump-era immigration policy known as the"remain in Mexico" program on Tuesday, which forced asylum seekers to wait in Mexico until their cases were processed in the United States.
This policy, which was terminated in a memo issued by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, was the center of President's immigration program known as the Migrant Protection Protocols . In the memo, Mayorkas said the MPP"does not adequately or sustainably enhance border management in such a way as to justify the program's extensive operational burdens and other shortfalls," and said that the policy known as"remain in Mexico," had"mixed effectiveness.
"I direct DHS personnel to take all appropriate actions to terminate MPP, including taking all steps necessary to rescind implementing guidance and other directives or policy guidance issued to implement the program," Mayorkas wrote."The forced return policy was cruel, depraved, and illegal, and we are glad that it has finally been rescinded," said Judy Rabinovitz, American Civil Liberties Union attorney and lead counsel in a case against the MPP.
