WASHINGTON, Aug 24 (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday denied President Joe Biden's bid to rescind an immigration policy implemented by his predecessor, Donald Trump, that forced thousands of asylum seekers to stay in Mexico awaiting U.S. hearings.
The court, with three liberal justices dissenting, rejected the Biden administration's effort to block a Texas-based judge's ruling requiring the government to revive Trump's "remain in Mexico" policy, formally known as the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) program.
The brief order by the justices means that U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk's ruling now goes into effect.
The Department of Homeland Security said in a statement it regretted the Supreme Court's decision and would continue to "vigorously challenge" the district court ruling.
As the appeals process continues, it said, the agency will comply with the order "in good faith" and has begun discussions with Mexico.

SCOTUS has to get the people's favor somehow.. because like it or not they are wrapped up in the mess the Biden administration has done... And are just as guilty for going along with it.

Hell, there are a lot of branches of our government that need pruning, it's a shame cause I grew up where there was always the belief the FBI and DOJ as well as SCOTUS were our ultimate checks and balances, against the politicians throw in the media as another institution we can no longer trust.

5$ says the Biden administration ignores this order
Why is the Remain in Mexico policy harmful? What are the concerns with this policy?
Making vulnerable people wait to access asylum protection and due process in Mexico is concerning for a number of reasons. First, this policy leaves many vulnerable asylum seekers to wait in dangerous and unsafe circumstances, including those in which their lives may be at risk, they may not be able to access health services and humanitarian aid, and they may face deportation.
Second, making asylum seekers wait in Mexico to access protection is deeply concerning from a due process and access to justice perspective. This policy impacts those people who have shown that they have a credible fear of persecution; nonetheless, the policy will make them wait in Mexico without access to family, legal, or social support. Undoubtedly, this will make it more difficult for those subject to the policy to successfully assert their asylum claims and will also risk retraumatizing them in the unsafe conditions in which they are forced to wait.

What about the roughly one million infected illegals already bused/flown all over the country? They haven't been ordered to appear for hearings, not that they have the honor to show up anyway.
Too little too late.
