Remain-in-Mexico SCOTUS ruling: Missouri AG declares decision a 'huge victory for border security'
Fox News
Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt on Wednesday said the Supreme Court ruling to reinstate the Trump-era Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) is a "huge victory" for border security.
In a 6-3 decision, the high court denied a request to stop a federal court ruling ordering the administration to reinstate the "Remain-in-Mexico" – a 2019 border security program that keeps migrants in Mexico as they awaited their hearings. The policy was highly controversial, with critics calling it cruel and alleging that it led to migrants being put in danger as they waited in camps in Mexico. Trump officials said it reduced the pull factors bringing migrants north, as it meant that they were not being released into the U.S.More Related News
