The Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) may be coming to an end after the Supreme Court ruled that the Biden administration did not unlawfully terminate the program in their ruling on Biden v. Texas this morning. MPP, a program that requires asylum seekers to wait in Mexico for their asylum hearings, has led to extremely low rates of legal representation and positive determinations of asylum and has been criticized by national and international organizations for undermining the asylum process along the US-Mexico border.
I am interested in your thoughts on whether this decision makes it easier for a future Trump/DeSantis Admin take executive action without push back from courts.
Also I wonder the impact on injunctions as this decision, I think, had something to say about national injunctions.
PS - I might have gone with the Holy Grail “I’m not dead yet” versus Princess Bride!
This is so helpful, thank you for this breakdown.

Thanks for the update on MPP. How I wish it was thoroughly and unequivocally dead instead of just "mostly dead."
