SCOTUS to Hear Cases on Funding of Trump’s Border Wall and “Remain in Mexico” Policy

HeadlineOct 20, 2020

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear two major immigration cases that are part of Trump’s hard-line agenda. The so-called Remain in Mexico program forces asylum seekers to wait in Mexico while their claims make their way through the court system. The court will also review Trump’s diversion of $2.5 billion in Pentagon funds, without congressional approval, to build his U.S.-Mexico border wall. The cases will not be heard until 2021. If Joe Biden wins the election, he could cancel efforts to move ahead with both plans.
