First lady Jill Biden will join President Joe Biden on his trip next week to Mexico City, according to the White House.
Biden has a “substantive, independent schedule which will focus on our shared cultural connections and her work to empower women and girls around the world,” the first lady’s press secretary, Vanessa Valdivia, told CNN on Saturday.
The policy was scheduled to lift last month, but a Supreme Court ruling kept the rule in place while legal challenges play out in court. On Thursday, Biden announced he is expanding a program to accept up to 30,000 migrants per month from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela – along with a plan to expel as many migrants from those countries who circumvent US laws – as his administration confronts the migrant surge at the southern border.
