Dear MoveOn member,

One of the Trump administration's cruelest immigration policies is
currently under review by the Supreme Court.

The verdict of Biden v. Texas will determine whether the Biden
administration has the authority to discontinue the Migrant Protection
Protocols, better known as the Remain in Mexico program.

This program slowed or halted tens of thousands of asylum claims, forcing
vulnerable children and families to remain in dangerous conditions at the
Mexican border.

[ [link removed] ]Tomorrow, the Supreme Court will be hearing oral arguments in Biden v.
Texas. A coalition of immigration organizations will be hosting a rally in
front of the Supreme Court beginning tomorrow morning (Tuesday, 4/26) at 8
a.m. Will you join them?

The Remain in Mexico policy has caused immeasurable suffering since the
Trump administration enacted it in January of 2019.

Dozens of studies and investigations conducted over the last few years
have repeatedly shown that asylum-seekers held at the border are at
significantly higher risk of violence, including kidnapping, extortion,
and sexual assault. They're denied access to basic services like health
care and education—and in a legal sense, their right to seek asylum in the
United States is systematically violated.^1

Despite the Biden administration's attempt at ending this inhumane,
violent policy, the Supreme Court will ultimately have the final say on
the future of this program—and that's why it's more important than ever
that we raise our voices now.

[ [link removed] ]RSVP here to tomorrow's rally outside of the Supreme Court as advocates
call for an end to the Remain in Mexico program.

Thanks for all you do.

–Arvin, Emma, Corinne, Evelyn, and the rest of the team
