The Biden administration has begun to reverse some of its predecessor’s hardline immigration policies that activists say have made LGBTQ asylum seekers and migrants even more vulnerable.
The Department of Homeland Security as of Thursday will no longer enroll additional asylum seekers in the “return to Mexico” (MPP) policy that forces asylum seekers to await the outcome of their cases in Mexico.
Acting Homeland Security David Pekoske on Thursday also signed a memorandum that directs U.S. Customs and Border Protection, U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to stop the deportations of “certain” undocumented immigrations for 100 days.
