Trump Admin Resumes "Remain in Mexico" Policy
---------------------------------------------

In more immigration news, the Trump administration is resuming its
so-called Remain in Mexico policy, after an appeals court stayed a lower
court ruling that had blocked the controversial practice. The policy
forces asylum seekers to wait in Mexico while their cases make their way
through U.S. courts, which legal experts and rights groups say is
illegal. Over 1,100 migrants who entered the country via the southern
border have been sent back to Mexico to wait out their court cases since
the policy started.
