Mexico asks to improve conditions before reimplementing the MPP

The Mexican government is expressing concerns regarding the reimplementation of the MPP (Migrant Protection Protocols) policy and is asking the Biden administration to address certain humanitarian risks before reinstating this rule.

In fact, on Friday, November 26, the Mexican Foreign Minister openly stated, “The government of Mexico has raised various concerns of a humanitarian nature regarding the asylum procedure in the United States”.

It is worth explaining that the MPP or “Remain in Mexico” policy, which was implemented by Trump in 2019, forces asylum seekers to remain in Mexican territory until they receive a response to their immigration cases.

What is the Mexican government asking for?

The Mexican government is asking the Biden administration to, on the one hand:

• Provide medical assistance to asylum seekers arriving in the border territory.
• Implement a COVID-19 vaccination program in asylum seeker shelters.
• Create strategies to protect asylum seekers from potential risks such as gangs or natural disasters while in Mexican territory.

On the other hand:

• Expedite the processing of asylum cases at the US borders.
• Accelerate certain social development projects in Central American territory to curb massive irregular migration.
• Improve the US immigration system to expand benefits for the most vulnerable immigrant communities.

Judge ordered the Biden administration to reinstate this rule

Although the current administration ended the MPP program, a Texas federal judge, who interestingly was appointed by former President Trump, ordered Biden to reimplement this policy in mid-August.

According to the judge’s opinion, the Biden administration did not follow regular protocols in rescinding this policy. This ruling was upheld by the US Supreme Court.

The Biden administration attempts to remove the MPP again

In late October, Biden’s DHS issued a memo ending the MPP policy again, but this time addressing the judge’s and Supreme Court’s concerns and comments.

It is uncertain whether the new memo will be effective or whether the Biden administration will be able to rescind this program as litigation is still pending.
