Biden can end Trump’s ‘Remain in Mexico’ program, supreme court rules

Ruling by 5-4 allows administration to terminate policy that forced asylum seekers to return to Mexico while claims are considered

The supreme court has issued a ruling that will allow the Biden administration to end a Trump-era immigration program forcing asylum seekers attempting to enter the US at the southern border to return to Mexico while their claims are considered.

The ruling in favor of Biden was a change in tone after the supreme court's conservatives in recent days overturned the constitutional right to abortion and curbed the Environmental Protection Agency's ability to regulate greenhouse gases, among other decisions that enraged Democrats.
