NEW ORLEANS — A federal appellate court refused late Thursday to delay implementation of a judge’s order reinstating a Trump administration policy forcing thousands to wait in Mexico while seeking asylum in the U.S.
President Joe Biden had suspended former President Donald Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy on his first day in office and the Department of Homeland Security said it was permanently terminating the program in June, according to the court record. U.S. District Judge Matthew J. Kacsmaryk last week ordered that the program be reinstated Saturday.
The Biden administration appealed to the 5th U.S. Circuit Appeal in New Orleans and asked for a delay in re-implementing the program, formally known as Migrant Protection Protocols, pending appeal. The administration argued in briefs that the president has “clear authority to determine immigration policy” and that the Secretary of the Department of Homeland security, Alejandro Mayorkas, had discretion in deciding whether to return asylum seekers to Mexico.
A three-judge 5th Circuit panel denied a stay of Kacsmaryk’s order late Thursday. “Even if the Government were correct that long-term compliance with the district court’s injunction would cause irreparable harm, it presents no reason to think that it cannot comply with the district court’s requirement of good faith while the appeal proceeds,” the ruling said.
The ruling affects thousands of asylum seekers with active cases who were subject to the remain in Mexico program.
Kacsmaryk was nominated to the federal bench by Trump. The 5th Circuit panel that ruled Thursday night included two Trump nominees, Andrew Oldham and Cory Wilson, along with Jennifer Walker Elrod, nominated to the appeals court by President George W. Bush.

Translation?
“Translation?”
There are actually judges who LOVE AMERICA on the 5th Circuit. In this case, they are telling Biden that he needs to close the floodgates, at least somewhat, on the Southern Border.
Trump’s stay in Mexico policy is reinstated.
Remain in Mexico should restart in Saturday. The Biden admin is appealing the initial ruling but have to abide by it until the appeal is heard or another higher court stays the original order.
The China-Joe-Ho Regime, in my opinion, will completely ignore this ruling and will not follow the order to re-instate the remain in Mexico ruling. Afterall, there is nothing a court can do to a Commie-Rat Regime that would matter to them. Fine them? LOL Chew them out in court? LOL Sanction them? LOL
Translation: Biden’s an anti American jackass.
You’re correct in your “translation,” but that headline still makes my head hurt. It’s wrong to torture sentences like that
LOL.
It is double triple quadruple negatives that lawyers are used to
The communists in power are already ignoring U.S. immigration laws of all kinds. Who is going to make them comply with this ruling?
This is the fatal flaw in our constitution. The executive branch is supposed to enforce the law. If the executive branch is run by lawless criminals, the entire system becomes lawless.
Good! Now do “Return to Mexico”
Pretty soon, Mexico might start to look pretty good.
Now we need a “Stay in Afghanistan” ruling.
Why does the President and the CDC think they can commandeer my rental properties and why does everyone in the world agree with Biden and the CDC? This will not get better, property rights are gone, I'm selling. Wait if I do that, they will take any and all profits from that sale, its theirs afterall.
That's about 5000:1
Once again, someone has their thumb on the scale and loaded the dice, in order to make the GOP do the dirty work of trying to seal the border. Xiden will now claim his hands are tied by a Trump court, after adding 3M mojados.
