CA9 Temporarily Stays Own Block on 'Remain in Mexico' Asylum Rule: Innovation Law Lab v. Wolf
"Plaintiffs brought suit in district court seeking an injunction against the Government’s recently promulgated Migrant Protection Protocols (“MPP”), under which non-Mexican asylum seekers who present themselves at our southern border are required to wait in Mexico while their asylum applications are adjudicated. The district court entered a preliminary injunction setting aside the MPP, and the Government appealed. We affirm."
[NOTE: On the same day, the Ninth Circuit granted the government's motion for a stay, ordering the government to file a brief by the end of Monday, March 2, 2020 and petitioners by the end of Tuesday, March 3, 2020.]
