Dozens of immigration activists allegedly walked out of a virtual meeting with Biden administration officials on Oct. 16 in protest over the White House’s plan to restart the Trump-era “Remain in Mexico” program, Politico reported.

The advocates read a statement accusing the administration of “playing politics with human lives” ahead of a virtual meeting with multiple officials, including people from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the White House Domestic Policy Council’s Esther Olavarria.
