New figures show Biden administration thumbing nose at courts over Remain in Mexico policy

The Biden administration has been repeatedly ordered by courts to continue enforcing the Trump-era Remain in Mexico policy for illegal migrants, but its own records show it has willfully thumbed its nose at those rulings as it waits for a final crack at the Supreme Court.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency data reviewed by Just the News shows just 199 of the 221,303 illegal aliens stopped by federal agents in March were placed into the Migrant Protection Protocol, the formal name of the Remain in Mexico policy.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, whose initial lawsuit led to the rulings, said the Biden administration's March performance is proof it is ignoring the courts' authority.

"The message has been sent to them: Bring as many as you can, and we'll do the handoff. And these people coming across, they're not running from the agents, they're running to the agents to be transferred to the agents, and then the handoff can take place, and they can be sent all around the country." The Supreme Court once before upheld the legality of the Remain in Mexico policy under Trump.

If the high court upholds the regulation again, the nation could face a constitutional crisis if Biden refuses to follow the justices' instructions, Paxton said.

"We're going to be in the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday to get a final say on the merits of the case," he said.
