“The Biden administration sent a memo to congressional offices on Tuesday instructing them that migrants who were deported “in absentia,” or had asylum cases thrown out due to the Migrant Protection Protocols policy, will have their asylum claims processed, according to Buzzfeed News.

The “Remain in Mexico” policy initiated by the Trump administration in 2019 left tens of thousands of asylum-seekers stranded along the US-Mexico border as the protocols forced them to stay in Mexico as they waited for their US court dates, or had claims rejected. “
