GOP Senator To Unveil Bill To Reinstate Trump’s ‘Remain In Mexico’ Policy As Border Crisis Worsens

Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) says she will introduce a bill this week to reinstate the Trump-era Migrant Protection Protocols (also known as the “Remain in Mexico” policy), which President Joe Biden abandoned on his first day in office.

Called the “Make the Migrant Protection Protocols Mandatory Act,” Blackburn’s bill would require foreigners seeking asylum who cross the southern border without proper identification and other papers to remain in Mexico until their case is heard in a U.S. court.
