Biden announces 100-day deportation moratorium
By Paul Ingram


The Biden administration also announced that it would suspend enrollments to the Migration Protection Protocols, or MPP. The Trump program, originally termed "Remain in Mexico," required asylum-seekers to stay in Mexico while they await their asylum cases in the United States, leaving thousands waiting for months, even more than a year, for their cases to come up. There are 24,250 MPP cases currently pending before immigration courts, according to data compiled by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, a nonpartisan project based at Syracuse University. And an estimated 1,276 people are waiting in Nogales, Sonora, for their cases to come up at the immigration court in El Paso, Texas — nearly 300 miles away.
