A federal judge in Texas has put a halt to the Biden administration’s attempt to end the Trump-era “Remain in Mexico” program, which has been criticized by rights groups for needlessly endangering asylum seekers.
the administration’s effort to terminate that policy while Texas and Missouri’s attempts to force the federal government to continue the program are considered in court.
President Biden had campaigned on putting an end to the policy. In June, the U.S. Supreme Court said that Biden had the right to end the program, but the case was sent down to Kacsmaryk’s court to determine whether the October 2021 memo that outlined how the policy would be dismantled complied with administrative laws.
The Amarillo, Tex., judge wrote Thursday that the 2021 memo did not consider the policy’s “deterrent effect on illegal border crossings and the reduction of unmeritorious asylum claims,” and said it prioritized dangers in Mexico over dangers of crossing the border “in the first instance.”
