A federal judge ordered Homeland Security to restart President Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy, ruling Friday that the Biden administration cut too many corners when it scrapped the get-tough approach to illegal border crossers.
Judge Matthew J. Kacsmaryk said Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas rushed to scrap the policy, officially known as the Migrant Protection Protocols, without considering the benefits of pushing border jumpers back across the boundary to Mexico to await their immigration court dates.
Particularly at a time when the government is defying U.S. law by catching and releasing illegal immigrants that are supposed to be detained, the judge said the MPP was a viable alternative, and the Biden team needed to give more than a cursory explanation for ending it.
“Defendants are ordered to enforce and implement MPP in good faith until such time as it has been lawfully rescinded in compliance with the [Administrative Procedures Act] and until such a time as the federal government has sufficient detention capacity to detain all aliens subject to mandatory detention,” the judge wrote.
The decision is a severe blow to the Biden team’s efforts to roll back Mr. Trump’s immigration policies.

Ohhhhhh,that’s going to piss off the dem party.....
You know it’s bad when even democrats are seeing the light.
How soon before another Judge overturns it?
I doubt if the judge called it Trumps’ immigration policy, but I’m sure glad the Washington Times did.
I know nothing about the process, but I’m willing to bet the judge didn’t arrive at this decision without a petition. So who made this happen?

Is this some Babylon Bee article? A US federal judge making a common sense ruling? Ok I’m going to wake up any moment and realise it was just a happy dream...
I was wondering the exact same thing — who filed a case with the court? It is so refreshing to hear a judge make a sensible ruling for a change.
Wow, hasn’t this guy been informed his family is on the line
yet?
Texas AG Ken Paxton sued DHS over it.
Yes. Go Texas.
Is the tide turning?
👍👍👍👍😍
Makes me wonder if Biden’s team asked this judge to overturn it so they could have an out to stop the uncontrollable mess they started. Even what few voters they have are fed up with their stupid policies.
Yup!
That way they could play the victim and get people’s sympathy instead of being exposed as the frauds and hypocrites they are and for making really bad decisions they have to backpedal on.
It’s all about optics.
Ouch
Good snag Jim...Tks
Black-robed tyrants. I hate them all.
