Trump's "Remain in Mexico" Program to be Phased Out
---------------------------------------------------

Buzz Feed reports asylum seekers forced to stay in Mexico by the Trump
administration will soon be allowed to start entering the U.S. Efforts
to phase out Trump's "Remain in Mexico" program are expected to begin
within the next two weeks. Immigrant rights advocates are calling for
President Biden to fully abolish the policy. The program has forced tens
of thousands of asylum seekers to wait in dangerous conditions in
crowded and squalid refugee camps across northern Mexico while their
cases make their way through U.S. courts.
