Supreme Court Rules That Biden Administration Can End MPP
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today the Supreme Court ruled
that the
Biden administration can lawfully end the so-called Migrant Protection
Protocols (MPP), also known as "Remain in Mexico." Â
Although the ruling means that the Biden administration can terminate
MPP, states could potentially challenge the termination on procedural
grounds in lower courts.Â
The policy, which the Trump administration implemented in 2019, has
forced more than 70,000 migrants to wait for the duration of their
immigration proceedings in Mexico - and often in danger. Â
"Though the ruling leaves open the possibility of procedural challenges
in lower courts, today's decision is a positive step," said
**Dan Gordon, Vice President of Strategic Communications at the National
Immigration Forum**. "The so-called Migrant Protection Protocols have
always put human beings in danger and run counter to due process. Â
"MPP is not part of the orderly, secure, and humane border policy we
need. Congress and the Biden administration must work together to
process arrivals effectively and efficiently, treat migrants with
dignity, and address the root causes of migration."
