The Supreme Court on June 21 dismissed as moot a case filed against the Migrant Protection Protocols, the Trump-era program otherwise known as the “remain in Mexico” policy, which was dismantled by the Biden administration earlier this year.
Former President Donald Trump implemented the program in 2018, spawning a number of different lawsuits against it. The policy mandated that prospective asylum-seekers who were found crossing the border could be returned to Mexico, where they would await a court date in front of a U.S. immigration judge.
