SAN DIEGO — Moments after his immigration case was heard Wednesday, a 51-year-old Cuban asylum seeker sat on a bench in the back of the courtroom and wept openly.
He had just learned that he would be allowed to fight his case from inside the United States instead of returning again to Tijuana under the "Remain in Mexico" program.
He'd been waiting more than two months in Tijuana for his immigration court case under the program, known officially as Migrant Protection Protocols or MPP.
