A federal judge has put the Biden administration's attempt to end the Trump-era “Remain in Mexico” policy on hold.
At least for now.
The policy requires asylum-seekers to stay in Mexico while U.S. authorities process their claims.
Federal Judge Matthew J. Kacsmaryk has stayed the administration's termination orders until litigation concerning President Biden's bid to end the policy is resolved.
NBC News explains:
Kacsmaryk's ruling is a setback for President Joe Biden, whose administration first sought to end the “Remain in Mexico” policy, formally known as the Migrant Protection Protocols, when he took office in January 2021.
The Supreme Court said in a 5-4 ruling in June that the Biden administration had acted properly in seeking to end the policy, reversing a federal appeals court ruling that rejected a fresh attempt to end the policy in October 2021. The administration was previously forced to reinstate the policy after Texas and Missouri sued.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who filed suit to block the policy from being lifted, praised the judge's order on Twitter.
“Biden's open-border agenda won't survive my legal attacks,” Paxton said Thursday.
