Since the program’s roll out in January 2019, the U.S. government has sent back more than 60,000 people to seven Mexican border cities.
U.S. authorities have argued that the policy keeps migrants from slipping into the U.S. and deters other migrants considering crossing from the U.S. southern border.
A federal district court in California had issued a ruling blocking the policy during the case, but MPP continued while the U.S. government appealed. The U.S. government rolled out the Migrant Protection Protocols in San Diego-Tijuana in January 2019. It later began sending asylum-seekers to Mexico in Calexico-Mexicali at the California border; El Paso-Ciudad Juárez, Brownsville-Matamoros, Laredo-Nuevo Laredo and Eagle Pass-Piedras Negras along the Texas border; and Nogales-Nogales, Sonora, at the Arizona border.
The American Civil Liberties Union litigated the appeal before the 9th Circuit in October, along with the Southern Poverty Law Center and Center for Gender and Refugee Studies.
