Supreme Court says Biden can end "Remain in Mexico" rule for asylum-seekers
CBSN
The Supreme Court on Thursday cleared the way for the Biden administration to end the so-called "Remain in Mexico" policy, a program first implemented under President Donald Trump that required asylum-seekers to await their court hearings in Mexico.
In a 5-4 opinion authored by Chief Justice John Roberts, the high court rejected arguments by Republican-led states seeking to force officials to keep the policy, ruling the decision to end it did not violate a 1996 migrant detention law and that a second memo terminating the program should have been considered by lower courts.
