Remain in Mexico

Migrants seeking to enter the United States will again have to stay in Mexico as they await immigration hearings, as the Biden administration reluctantly announced plans to comply with a court order.

Central American migrants are thankful for the Biden administration's plans to go back to admitting them to the U.S. as their asylum claims are processed. But many still worry about future obstacles.

Under the new administration, the Department of Homeland Security looks set to roll back several Trump-era immigration policies and to establish a path to citizenship for immigrants.

The high court will allow the Trump administration's "Remain in Mexico" policy to stand across the entire southern border. The decision marks another immigration victory for the White House.

The 9th Circuit said the policy, which forces asylum-seekers to wait in Mexico, may violate the law. But judges were prepared to block the policy in two states only, starting next week.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals first ruled to uphold a lower-court's injunction on the controversial policy, but later the same day voted to suspend its own order to allow more time for arguments.

Customs and Border Protection officials are denying an NPR report that a Border Patrol agent asked the girl to choose which of her parents would be sent back to Mexico.

A Honduran couple says a Border Patrol agent told them one parent could stay in the U.S. with their three kids. The agent turned to their youngest and asked her which parent she wanted to be with.

Threatened with U.S. tariffs, Mexico agreed to step up migrant control, deploying a new security force, and catching and deporting more migrants. Here's how it's going.

Immigrant advocates say the policy, known as Migrant Protection Protocols, is not protecting migrants. It is difficult for lawyers to reach clients and puts migrants in danger.
