“EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) – More than 100 advocacy organizations have sent a letter to the White House urging President Biden to immediately stop asylum-seekers back to Mexico and craft a plan for the safe return of thousands already there.

The groups say the administration continues to send dozens of migrants who request asylum at U.S. processing centers to cities like Juarez, Mexico until called by an immigration judge. Advocates say this is being done under the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) program, also known as “Remain in Mexico,” that the Supreme Court on June 30 ruled the Biden administration had a right to end.

“They say their hands are tied until the Supreme Court sends a certified copy of the judgment to the court of appeals,” said Melissa Crow, director of litigation at the Center for Gender and Refugee Studies. “In the meantime, we’re asking that (Biden) end MPP and begin to redress the enormous harm it has caused.””
