US Supreme Court justice delays order to reinstate controversial migrant program
According to this article on Jurist, by Hannah Brem
“US Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has delayed a district court injunction requiring the Biden administration to reinstate the Trump-era migrant protections protocols (MPP). In the Friday order, Alito wrote: “the injunction issued by the District Court is stayed until 11:59 p.m. EDT on Tuesday, August 24 so that the full Court can consider the application.”
Former president Donald Trump’s Secretary of Homeland Security, Kirstjen Nielsen, announced the MPP in January 2019. Under the program, individuals seeking admission to the US from Mexico were returned to Mexico for “the duration of the immigration proceedings.” Homeland Security believed the MPP would create a safer and more efficient immigration system.”
