U.S. plans to reinstate Trump’s 'Remain in Mexico' policy next month

Broad outlines of the reinstated policy come as the Biden administration is yet to develop the “humane” asylum system that the president promised during his campaign after quickly dismantling many Mr. Trump policies.

The Biden administration said it plans to reinstate a Trump-era border policy next month to make asylum-seekers wait in Mexico for hearings in the U.S. immigration court, complying with a judge's order.

It hinges on approval of the Mexican government, which has raised concerns that the U.S. officials are working to address, the Justice Department said in a court filing on Thursday.

Mexico wants cases to generally conclude within six months and ensure that asylum-seekers have timely and accurate information about hearing dates and times and better access to legal counsel.
