Former President Trump is reinstating the 'Remain in Mexico' policy, requiring some asylum seekers at the US-Mexico border to wait in Mexico for their US immigration court hearings. The policy, criticized for pushing migrants into dangerous conditions, was previously implemented during Trump's first term and met with legal challenges from advocacy groups.

Migrant families live in tents at the Movimiento Juventud 2000 shelter in Tijuana, Mexico, back in April 2022, when the U.S. border restrictions known as Title 42 and"Remain in Mexico" were still in effect.

The move is among several orders aimed at increasing border security and disincentivizing migration to the United States. Since the early days of his 2024 presidential campaign, Trump has vowed to sign executive actions to impose severe limits on immigration to kick off his second term. During his campaign, Trump repeatedly vowed to bring back this asylum limiting policy.

The CPB One app, which allowed migrants to schedule appointments at ports of entry along the U.S.-Mexico border, is no longer operational, The Biden administration said the CBP One app helped reduce crossings by migrants without legal status and made the border less chaotic. But immigration advocates compared it to Trump's"remain in Mexico," policy, which forced asylum seekers to wait in dangerous Mexican border cities for indefinite periods of time.
