The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has officially terminated the “remain in Mexico” policy that was initiated under former President Donald Trump’s administration, which enabled immigration agencies to keep illegal immigrants and asylum-seekers in Mexico while they waited for their court date.

President Joe Biden in January suspended the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP)—the official name for the policy—but the DHS instructed employees in the memo on Tuesday that they will no longer be enforcing the mandate. Since Jan. 20, when Biden took office, he’s issued dozens of executive orders rescinding Trump-era immigration policies.
