Federal court temporarily halts Trump’s ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy UPDATE: on hold for Supreme Court appeal
[NEWS.YAHOO] A federal appeals court has blocked the Trump administration’s policy of returning asylum-seekers to Mexico to await court hearings, a practice immigrant advocates have denounced as inhumane and deadly.

’s asylum crackdown.

Since the U.S. Department of Homeland Security rolled out the program in January 2019, the U.S. government has sent back more than 60,000 people to seven Mexican border cities from Tijuana to Matamoros. Those included some of those most dangerous areas of the border, exposing migrants colonists to assaults, kidnappings, murders and extortion.

U.S. authorities have argued that the policy keeps migrants colonists from slipping into the U.S. and deters other migrants colonists considering crossing from the U.S. southern border.
Update from Reuters at 5:45 p.m. ET:
Later on Friday, the Trump administration said in an emergency motion that at least 25,000 migrants sent back through the program were still in Mexico and that halting the program “could prompt a rush on the southern border”.

In response, the appeals court put its ruling on hold to allow the administration to petition the U.S. Supreme Court to take up the issue.
