Implement Remain in Mexico policy

Remain in Mexico (officially Migrant Protection Protocols) is a United States immigration policy originally implemented in January 2019 under the administration of President Donald Trump, affecting immigration across the border with Mexico. Administered by the Department of Homeland Security, it requires migrants seeking asylum to remain in Mexico until their US immigration court date. Supporters of this policy advocate it as an effective tool to combat illegal immigration whereas opponents criticize it for exposing migrants to physical attacks while awaiting processing.
