Council Calls on Biden Administration to Block the Return of MPP
Published
The American Immigration Council led other organizations in a letter urging the Biden administration to take all measures necessary to block the return of the inhumane and unlawful Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), which was reinstated by a federal judge in Texas on August 13 who issued a preliminary injunction ordering the Department of Homeland Security to “enforce and implement MPP in good faith.” The letter calls on the administration to do everything in its power to prevent this order from going into effect, up to and including an emergency appeal to the Supreme Court. MPP, also known as Remain in Mexico, inflicted extreme harm on vulnerable people seeking asylum at the border and created extreme obstacles to due process.
Help us fight for immigration justice!
The research is clear – immigrants are more likely to win their cases with a lawyer by their side. But very few can get attorneys.
Introducing the Immigration Justice Campaign Access Fund.
Your support sends attorneys, provides interpreters, and delivers justice.
Immigration Justice Campaign is an initiative of American Immigration Council and American Immigration Lawyers Association. The mission is to increase free legal services for immigrants navigating our complicated immigration system and leverage the voices and experiences of those most directly impacted by our country’s immigration policies to inform legal and advocacy strategies. We bring together a broad network of volunteers who provide legal assistance and advocate for due process for immigrants with a humane approach that includes universal legal representation and other community-based support for individuals during their immigration cases.
