Roberts said it is not the high court\u2019s job to \u201cresolve the parties\u2019 arguments\u201d or evaluate \u201cwhether the Government is lawfully exercising its parole authorities,\u201d only to determine that \u201cthe INA itself does not require the Secretary to continue exercising his discretionary authority under these circumstances.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Justice Samuel Alito\u2019s dissenting opinion, joined by Justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch, argues the opposite, that \u201cCongress offered the Executive two \u2014 and only two \u2014 alternatives to detention.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDue to the huge numbers of aliens who attempt to enter illegally from Mexico, DHS does not have the capacity to detain all inadmissible aliens encountered at the border, and no one suggests that DHS must do the impossible,\u201d writes Alito. \u201cBut rather than avail itself of Congress\u2019s clear statutory alternative to return inadmissible aliens to Mexico while they await proceedings in this country, DHS has concluded that it may forgo that option altogether and instead simply release into this country untold numbers of aliens who are very likely to be removed if they show up for their removal hearings. This practice violates the clear terms of the law, but the Court looks the other way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump first announced the Migrant Protection Protocols in 2018. After facing multiple legal hurdles, the Department of Homeland Security implemented the MPP in 2019. <\/p>\n<p>Art Arthur, a resident fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies, noted in a recent <a href=\"https:\/\/cis.org\/Arthur\/Decision-Remain-Mexico-Case-Coming-Thursday-Maybe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">column<\/a>, \u201cAsylum cases were expedited under the program, and MPP removed incentives for aliens to make weak or bogus claims when apprehended.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When Biden assumed office, he issued an executive order directing Secretary of Homeland Security\u00a0Alejandro Mayorkas to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dhs.gov\/archive\/migrant-protection-protocols-biden-administration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">repeal the MPP<\/a>.  Texas and Missouri sued, leading to the policy\u2019s temporary reinstatement. The Biden administration\u2019s attempts to get a stay of the injunction were declined by both the Fifth Circuit\u00a0Court and the\u00a0Supreme Court. Five months after Mayorkas declared a second end to the MPP in October, SCOTUS agreed to grant Biden a writ of certiorari in February. <\/p>\n<p>Thursday\u2019s ruling means the MPP program is dead. However, under Biden, the number of migrants actually enrolled in the program plummeted. Fewer than 3,000 of the 5,014 people enrolled in MPP as of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dhs.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/2022-05\/2022_0513_plcy_mpp_cohort_report_may_2022.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">May 2022<\/a> were actually sent to Mexico to await the outcome of their immigration proceedings. <\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>\n  Jordan Boyd is a staff writer at The Federalist and co-producer of The Federalist Radio Hour.
