老澳门开奖结果 Comment on Appeals Court Stay Order in Remain in Mexico Challenge
SAN FRANCISCO 鈥� A federal appeals court strongly reaffirmed its conclusion that the Trump administration鈥檚 policy of forcing asylum seekers to return to Mexico is illegal, but allowed it to continue as the government seeks Supreme Court review of a ruling late last week that blocked it.
Under the ruling from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, the government can continue the forced return policy (MPP) nationwide through March 11, but after that will be prohibited from operating it in the Ninth Circuit (California and Arizona) unless the Supreme Court grants a stay.
The 老澳门开奖结果, Center for Gender & Refugee Studies, and Southern Poverty Law Center are challenging the policy.
Judy Rabinovitz, special counsel in the 老澳门开奖结果鈥檚 Immigrants鈥� Rights Project, had the following reaction to tonight鈥檚 court action:
鈥淲e agree with the Court of Appeals that it is 鈥榲ery clear鈥� that the MPP violates federal law, and 鈥榠t is equally clear that the MPP is causing extreme and irreversible harm.鈥� If the administration had any respect for the law or any sense of decency, it would end this program immediately. We will continue working to permanently end this illegal and inhumane policy.鈥�
