The US government announced the end of the 'Remain in Mexico' policy, which required asylum seekers to wait in Mexico while their cases were processed. This decision followed a court ruling that allowed President Biden to terminate the policy, initially introduced by former President Trump in 2019. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas criticized the policy for its human and resource costs.
