Dear John, Today, the Supreme Court was clear: the Biden administration has the right to end the cruel and inhumane Migrant Protection Protocols. This Trump-era policy—also known as the “Remain in Mexico” program—illegally sent thousands of people seeking humanitarian protection to dangerous areas of Mexico to await their asylum hearings. Many were extorted, kidnapped, raped, and murdered during their time in the program. The court’s decision strikes down an injunction that blocked the Biden administration from ending MPP. Now, over 4,000 people sent back to Mexico under the renewed program will have a chance to seek asylum in safety.
Though we’re glad MPP will finally be terminated, we cannot forget that asylum seekers will continue to be turned away with Title 42 still in place. We must keep up the pressure on the administration to do more to ensure that everyone has the right to safely and meaningfully seek asylum. Sincerely, |
