'We are deeply disappointed by the Administration's expansion of its failed Remain-in-Mexico policy,' wrote Pelosi.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi attacked President Donald Trump Saturday, accusing the commander-in-chief of using"threats and temper tantrums" to force Mexico into a deal that she labeled"unconscionable and irresponsible."
Of particular concern to Pelosi was the agreement's expansion of what has become known as the"Remain-in-Mexico" policy, which seeks to keep asylum-seeking Central American migrants on the Mexico side of the border until after U.S. officials have determined their eligibility to migrate to America. The Remain-in-Mexico program is the subject of an ongoing legal challenge. It was initially put on hold by a federal judge, but an appeals court subsequently allowed the policy to continue.
"President Trump must stop sabotaging good-faith, constructive, and bipartisan efforts in Congress to address this complex problem in a humane manner that honors and respects our most cherished national values," she wrote.
