The Trump administration is reinstating a program that during the first administration removed thousands of asylum seekers to Mexico while they awaited the resolution of their U.S. cases, with a new report suggesting removals could begin as early as this week.
Also known as the "Remain in Mexico" program, it was launched by the Trump administration in 2019 and terminated by former President Joe Biden in 2021. One year into his second term, President Donald Trump is bringing the program back by removing at least 400 individuals, according to two sources familiar with the plan who spoke to MS NOW News reporters Jake Taylor and Laura Barrón-López.
