Biden plans tax-funded legal services program for 'Remain in Mexico' immigrants: report
Fox News
The plan is part of a wider effort to provide services to immigrants and ease their access into the country.
U.S. authorities detained more than 1.7 million immigrants trying to cross the U.S.-Mexico border during the 2021 fiscal year, which ended in September - the most since the passage of President Ronald Reagan's sweeping immigration reform bill in 1986.
The Justice Department’s Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) will run the program after it gets off the ground, agency spokesperson Kathryn Mattingly told Axios. The Biden administration hopes to get the program going within the next 60 days.
