Biden Prepares to End Remain in Mexico Program
Activists say Remain in Mexico has exposed thousands of asylum seekers to violence in dangerous cities near the U.S.-Mexico border.
President-elect Joe Biden is preparing to get rid of the “Remain in Mexico” program, which activists say has exposed thousands of asylum seekers to violence in dangerous cities near the U.S.-Mexico border. The program, created in January 2019 by President Trump, was used to discourage asylum seekers from crossing the border and has sent over 69,000 individuals to wait in Mexico for immigration court hearings. Human Rights Watch describe the policy “needlessly and foreseeably exposed [asylum seekers] to considerable risk of serious harm.” Michael Garcia Bochenek, Human Right Watch’s senior children’s rights counsel, said its researchers heard upsetting testimonies from asylum seekers about traveling back to Mexico.
