Biden to reinstate Trump-era ‘Remain in Mexico’ migrant policy

• DoJ says reinstatement depends on approval from Mexico
• Court overturned Biden's initial decision to suspend policy

The Biden administration said on Friday it plans to reinstate the Trump-era border policy known as Remain in Mexico, which forced at least 70,000 asylum seekers to stay in Mexico, many for extended periods and in deprived and dangerous conditions, while they waited for their cases to be considered US courts.

Joe Biden suspended the policy formally known as the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) in his first days in office, but a federal judge ordered his administration to put it back into place.
