Supreme Court keeps Trump's 'Remain in Mexico' asylum program in place

The Supreme Court on Wednesday granted another emergency appeal from the Trump administration and voted to keep in place the “Remain in Mexico” policy that has forced tens of thousands of asylum seekers to stay on the Mexican side of the border while they await a hearing in the United States.

The high court’s action, while not a final ruling, is a significant victory for the Trump administration and its hard-line policies on immigration and asylum. It will maintain the “Remain in Mexico” policy for at least three months and probably through early next year. The justices are likely to grant review of the case when Trump’s lawyers submit an appeal petition in June.

The solicitor general said the policy officially known as Migrant Protection Protocols has proved to be an “enormously effective and indispensable tool” to cope with “the humanitarian and security crisis” at the southern border. He told the justices that prior to the policy, about 2,000 migrants had been arriving daily at the southern border seeking to enter the United States and to apply for asylum.
