The Biden administration is working to end a controversial program that requires many migrants to remain in Mexico while their asylum claims are processed in U.S. courts. Human rights advocates have slammed MPP as inhumane.
in June, but a U.S. District Court judge in Texas ordered the administration to restart MPP in August, arguing the White House ended the program improperly. The ruling was upheld by the Supreme Court.After a thorough review, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has determined MPP "may very well have led to a reduction of irregular migration," but the humanitarian costs do not justify the program, one DHS official said.
The policy "diverts resources away from other key administration priorities, including long-standing efforts to address root causes of migration and other key initiatives that are designed to develop more sustainable, effective, effective and durable reforms to the asylum system," the official said. Because of the legal battle involving MPP, however, it's unclear if or when the administration will be able to actually end the policy.The department plans to ask the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals to vacate the district judge's ruling or send the case to the lower court so the administration can ask the Texas judge to vacate it.
