Supreme Court to review Biden's effort to end "Remain in Mexico" policy

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear the Biden administration's case to end the Trump-era "Remain in Mexico" program.

Why it matters: Last year, the Biden administration restarted the policy, which requires asylum-seekers at the southern border to wait in Mexico while their applications are pending, after a lower court said it "failed to consider several critical factors" before terminating the program.

• The Justice Department is asking the Supreme Court to rule on whether Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is required to implement the directive.
• Texas and Missouri sued the Biden administration, claiming the program's suspension worsened conditions at the border.
