Judge Blocks Program that Returned Central American Asylum Seekers to Tijuana
By Manuel Ocaño
This Monday, a federal judge in California temporarily blocked the Trump Administration’s policy of returning Central American asylum seekers to Tijuana and Mexicali as they wait for their court hearings. He also ordered for those immigrants who have already had their initial court date to be immediately returned to the United States.
The measure will take effect this Friday, April 12th, at 5:00 p.m. Pacific time. According to Judge Richard Seeborg’s order, some of the 1,105 Central American migrants currently waiting in Tijuana, Mexicali, and Ciudad Juarez under the Migrant Protection Protocols (better known as “Remain in Mexico”) would have to start being returned at that time.
