US: Supreme Court vindicates Biden for overturning Trump’s immigration policy

The US Supreme Court today ruled in favor of President Joe Biden, who had overturned his predecessor Donald Trump’s controversial immigration executive order that would have required asylum seekers apprehended at the southern border to be sent back to Mexico and have to they wait there until the examination of their case is completed.

By a narrow majority (5 to 4), the justices ruled that no immigration law was violated when they halted the automatic deportation of immigrants back to Mexico. Two Republican-controlled states, Texas and Missouri, had called for the program to remain in place. The Supreme Court ruling is seen as a victory for Biden.

The Remain in Mexico program was implemented in 2019 when the US was faced with an increased flow of refugees at its southern border. His termination was announced in February 2021, just weeks after Joe Biden took office.

Every year, tens of thousands of migrants from Central and South America try to reach the US to escape violence and poverty in their countries. Many lose their lives along the way. On Monday, 53 would-be immigrants were found dead in a pickup truck in San Antonio, Texas.
