Since early December, more than 200 migrants and refugees hoping to claim asylum in the United States have been sent back to Mexico to wait for their US court hearings, a rights organisation said, under a revived widely-condemned Trump-era immigration policy.
The administration of President Joe Biden had sought to end the Migration Protection Protocols (MPP), saying the programme exposed migrants and refugees to unnecessary danger in Mexico.
But a court in Texas ordered the policy – also known as Remain in Mexico – restarted in August, after Missouri and Texas sued the Biden administration, arguing it terminated the policy without following the proper procedures.
