Supreme Court Removes Cases Defending Trump Border Policies
3 Feb 2021
WASHINGTON, DC – The Supreme Court removed two high-profile border security cases from its docket on Wednesday, one concerning the Trump administration’s building a wall on the U.S.-Mexican border and the other concerning keeping migrants in Mexico while their petitions to enter the United States are pending.
The Biden administration advised the justices that the government was reversing course on both matters and that rulings from the Court might no longer be necessary, and so the justices started the process for dismissing the cases.
These cases have been in federal court since former President Donald Trump began implementing his 2016 campaign promises to deal with the long-standing immigration problems on America’s southern border. Both policies were met with immediate legal challenges that have been working their way through the court system.
After his election win over Donald Trump, President Joe Biden asked the justices to not weigh in on policies he plans to roll back.

WASHINGTON (CN) The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday granted a request from the Biden administration to drop two Trump-era immigration cases from this month’s argument calendar because the policies at issue are likely to be rescinded.
“In light of these recent developments, petitioners respectfully request that the court hold further briefing in abeyance and remove this case from the February 2021 argument calendar,” wrote Elizabeth B. Prelogar, the Justice Department’s acting solicitor general, in two nearly identical motions for abeyance filed Monday evening.
