VOICED : Migrantes cruzan a EEUU tras el fin de la política de Trump "Quédate en México"

The 'Remain in Mexico' policy, initiated by former President Trump, has been formally ended by President Biden's administration. This policy had sent tens of thousands of Central American asylum seekers back to Mexico while awaiting their case resolutions. The Department of Homeland Security criticized the program for failing to improve border management or address the root causes of irregular immigration. It also did not resolve security issues, as many participants attempted to cross the border again, and it delayed immigration processes further due to pandemic-related court closures. Official data shows around 68,000 people were returned under this policy.
