“The Supreme Court has certified its ruling allowing the Biden administration to end the Migrant Protection Protocols policy, better known as “Remain in Mexico.”

The policy was a part of former President Donald Trump’s border policy forcing migrants seeking asylum in the U.S. to wait in Mexico for hearings. In June, a Supreme Court decision overruled a lower court that forced the policy to be reinstated in December. But while President Joe Biden previously tried to end the policy, there has been little comment thus far on when his administration might officially follow through.

Gladis Molina Alt, executive director of the Young Center for Immigrant Children’s Rights, said she has spent time along the U.S.-Mexico border and the situation remains very difficult for the migrants in limbo.”
