Biden suspended the MPP on his first day in office, and then his Department of Homeland Security Secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas, issued a memo terminating the policy last June.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>However, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in December&nbsp;<a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ca5.uscourts.gov\/opinions\/pub\/21\/21-10806-CV1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">upheld<\/a>&nbsp;a lower court\u2019s order that required Biden to reimplement the MPP \u201cin good faith.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden began reenrolling migrants into the MPP in December after negotiating with Mexican government officials.
