Judge orders Biden administration to resume ‘remain in Mexico’ policy

Published August 14, 2021 2:55pm ET



The Biden administration must resume the “remain in Mexico” border policy first authorized under former President Donald Trump, a federal judge in Texas ruled Friday.

District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk ordered officials to “enforce and implement” the policy, also known as the Migrant Protection Protocol.

The judge concluded that the policy must stay in place until it can be lawfully suspended.
