Washington [US], September 30 (ANI/Sputnik): The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said it will issue a new memorandum to terminate the Trump-era Migrant Protection Protocols program after a Texas judge ordered the federal government to reinstate the rule, which required asylum-seeking migrants to stay in Mexico while awaiting court proceedings.

"The Department of Homeland Security intends to issue in the coming weeks a new memorandum terminating the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP)," DHS said in a release on Wednesday. "Although the Department issued a June 2021 memorandum that terminated MPP, a Texas district court vacated that prior termination determination and issued an injunction that requires the Department to work in good faith to re-start MPP." The new memorandum to terminate MPP will not take effect until the current injunction from the Texas court is lifted, the release said.
