While the Supreme Court has been delivering some amazing cases - overturning Roe v. Wade, ensuring religious liberty, and now, curtailing the power of the executive branch with its EPA decision - there was another case that came out on Thursday that didn't go the way conservatives might have hoped and unfortunately is going to be a big problem for the country.
The decision on the "Remain in Mexico" policy that President Donald Trump implemented and that Joe Biden has been trying to overturn
- On Thursday, the Supreme Court ruled that the Biden Administration can repeal that policy, known formally as "Migrant Protection Protocols" in a 5-4 decision written by Chief Justice John Roberts.
- The key statute is 8 U.S.C. Section 1225, part of which says someone applying for admission "shall be detained for a proceeding" unless they are "clearly and beyond a doubt entitled to be admitted."
- Without the ability to detain everyone, Texas and Missouri argued that sending them back when possible is necessary is necessary.
