Earlier this week, the country’s highest court issued an unsigned brief that the administration may fully enforce a new rule that would curtail asylum applications by immigrants at the US-Mexico border while the underlying legality of the rule moves through the country’s lower court.
Spokesperson Andrej Mahecic says: “We have taken note of the order from the US Supreme Court allowing this policy to be implemented while challenges to move it forward in lower courts. We have stated our views on this policy clearly and publicly and may I remind you of our statement on 15 July, there was a press release on this matter. And we regret the impact that implementation will have on asylum-seekers.
“Our concern is with the people – families, unaccompanied children and other individuals – moving through Mexico today from Central America and elsewhere that are in urgent need of a safe haven. It is imperative that those people be identified quickly and afforded the safety and assistance that they need and they deserve including the right to seek asylum. The Supreme Court does not address the substance of the policy in question.
