Asylum Seekers Enter US As Biden Ends "Remain In Mexico" Policy

BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS - FEBRUARY 25: A volunteer (R) welcomes a group of at least 25 immigrant asylum seekers who were officially allowed to cross from a migrant camp in Mexico into the United States on February 25, 2021 in Brownsville, Texas. The group was the first to cross into south Texas as part of the unwinding of the Trump administration's Migrant Protection Protocols, (MPP), also known as the 'Remain in Mexico' immigration policy. Many of the asylum seekers had been waiting in the squalid camp alongside the Rio Grande in Matamoros for more than a year. After crossing the border they were processed by U.S. immigration authorities and then brought to a bus station for onward travel to destinations around the U.S. while awaiting their immigration court cases. Last week the first group of 25 MPP immigrants entered from Tijuana into San Ysidro, California. (Photo by John Moore/Getty Images)
