Biden administration turns to Supreme Court to stop lower court order reviving 'Remain in Mexico' po
Source: CNN
The Biden administration has asked the Supreme Court to intervene in a case concerning the administration's decision to end the controversial Trump-era policy that forced migrants to stay in Mexico until their US immigration court date.
The request was filed with Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito on Friday. It comes after the US Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit refused on Thursday to put on hold an order from a district court judge that required the administration to revive the policy, informally known as the "Remain in Mexico" program.
The Biden administration is asking the Supreme Court to halt the judge's order while an appeal proceeds. The order from the district court requiring the revival of the program is slated to go into effect on Saturday.
The Trump-era policy was put in place in 2019 and marked an unprecedented departure from previous protocols. An estimated 68,000 migrants were returned to Mexico under the policy -- often to squalid and dangerous conditions.
