The Biden administration in a new court filing says it should not be forced to resume a policy that forces some asylum seekers to wait in Mexico while their claims are decided.

It would be “nearly impossible” to revive the program, which was launched in the Trump era, in the time period given by a federal judge last week, David Shahoulian, assistant secretary for border security and immigration at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), said in a filing.
