Us President Joe Biden plans to resume the "stay in Mexico" border policy made during the Trump administration in November, Capitol Hill reported on October 15.
The "stay in Mexico" policy, officially known as the Immigration Protection Agreement (Migrant Protection Protocols), was implemented on January 25, 2019 and was cancelled after Biden took office. The policy requires foreigners who enter the United States to seek asylum from the U.S.-Mexico border to stay in Mexico, pending U. S. identity verification and hearings in the U.S. Immigration court. The policy also states that Mexico will provide appropriate humanitarian protection to these people during their stay in Mexico.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Aug. 24 that the Immigration Protection Agreement must be resumed after Texas and Missouri sued Biden for the termination of the Immigration Protection Agreement. The Biden administration said it would abide by the verdict and would continue to appeal the case.
The Department of Homeland Security is discussing with the Mexican government when and how to re-implement the Immigration Protection Agreement, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said in a statement on October 14. In a conference call on the same day, officials from the US Department of Homeland Security told several media that the Biden administration had begun preparations for the establishment of a simple hearing court on the US-Mexico border, but the re-implementation of the Immigration Protection Agreement was not what the Biden administration wanted.
It is reported that 70000 foreigners seeking asylum will be sent to Mexico under the Immigration Protection Agreement.
In a memo released on June 1, 2021, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayokas announced the formal end of the "stay in Mexico" asylum application policy implemented during the administration of former President Donald Trump.
Only five months have passed since the end of the "stay in Mexico" asylum application policy was announced on June 1, 2021 and reopened in November. (CCTV reporter Liu Xu)
