Bill Summary
A BILL To direct the Secretary of Homeland Security to continue to implement the Migrant Protection Protocols, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, called the "REMAIN in Mexico Act of 2025", would require the Secretary of Homeland Security to continue implementing the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), which were originally established in January 2019. The Migrant Protection Protocols, often referred to as the "Remain in Mexico" policy, is a controversial immigration strategy that requires certain non-Mexican asylum seekers who arrive at the U.S. southern border to wait in Mexico while their immigration court proceedings are pending, instead of being allowed to enter the United States. By mandating the continuation of these protocols through legislative action, the bill seeks to ensure that this specific immigration enforcement approach remains in place, potentially overriding any existing administrative discretion that might otherwise allow for changes to the policy. The legislation appears designed to codify the MPP into law, making it more difficult for future administrations to discontinue the practice.
