Supreme Court REFUSES Joe Biden’s appeal to ban Donald Trump’s ‘stay in Mexico’ policy that forces immigrants to remain south of the border while seeking asylum in US
- With the three liberal justices in dissent, the court said the administration likely violated federal law in its efforts to rescind the program
- A federal judge in Texas had previously ordered that the program be reinstated last week
- Both he and the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals refused the administration’s request to put the ruling on hold
- Justice Samuel Alito ordered a brief delay to allow the full court time to consider the administration’s appeal
The Supreme Court on Tuesday refused to block a court ruling ordering the Biden administration to reinstate a Trump-era policy that forces people to wait in Mexico while seeking asylum in the United States.
With the three liberal justices in dissent, the court said the administration likely violated federal law in its efforts to rescind the program informally known as Remain in Mexico.
A federal judge in Texas had previously ordered that the program, informally known as ‘Remain in Mexico,’ be reinstated last week.
