The Biden administration asked the Supreme Court on Monday to cancel coming oral arguments on two pillars of former President Donald Trump’s immigration policy, construction of a wall along the southern U.S. border and the “Remain in Mexico” program that barred U.S. entry to many asylum applicants while their cases were considered.
The filings are among the first of many the Justice Department is expected to make as the Biden administration changes direction on immigration, LGBT protections, voting rights, the Affordable Care Act and other policies.
In both cases, acting Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar, who represents the federal government at the Supreme Court, cited first-day actions of the Biden administration.
On Jan. 20, President Biden terminated the emergency Mr. Trump declared along the southern border, an action the previous administration argued allowed it to pull money Congress had allocated to other projects for construction of the wall, which lawmakers had refused to fund. Lower courts found the Trump administration exceeded its authority, but the Supreme Court’s conservative majority allowed the reallocations to continue and construction to proceed while appeals were pending.
In the asylum case, Ms. Prelogar cited a Jan. 20 directive from the acting secretary of homeland security, David Pekoske, suspending new enrollment in the asylum program, which formally is called the Migrant Protection Protocols.
Arguments in the wall case are scheduled for Feb. 22, while the justices on March 1 are set to review the Trump administration policy that required asylum seekers at the border to wait in Mexico while their requests are considered.
Lower courts ruled that the asylum policy and some of the border wall’s funding were unlawful, prompting appeals from the Trump administration. If the Biden administration ultimately drops the appeals, as expected, the lower court decisions will remain in force.

What a travesty the Biden administration is. The globalist want this country to fall.
I dunno? Anyone check with Emmet Sullivan to see if its ok?
Why even ask? Prez Asterisk should just do it himself, and save us all this nonsense. The rule of law has been suspended in the United States of America, so what use is a Supreme Court? C’mon Joe! Get with it~!
The Roberts court is not conservative.
When the SCOTUS buckles, and they will, tens of thousands of Patriots should “camp” out along the Southern Boarder as deterrents. Let Bimentia and Heels up Harris Come out and play”
Will certainly watch this play out.
What ever happened to a “speedy trial”?
“The Roberts court is not conservative.”
It’s largely seditious if not traitorous.
What is this, “cancel arguments”?
When this clown car falls from it’s own occupants weight of stupidity it ain’t gonna be pretty folks. When that moment comes, I hope people realize the corrupt cartel called “ U.S. Representatives” and the pit bull agencies they feed, gets a keel hauling overhaul.
It was suspended by Roberts and his 3 fellow "conservative" flunkies.

There are but two. [And you know who they are.]
“Death to America,” Joe added.

Conflict is going to happen. Might as get it on.
