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.
