President Joe Biden’s administration on Wednesday asked the U.S. Supreme Court to rule on whether it must keep the Trump-era “Remain in Mexico” policy, Reuters reports. Under the policy, migrants must wait weeks and sometimes years in Mexico for a U.S. court date on their bid for asylum. Biden attempted to end the policy in January, but a federal judge ruled it must be reinstated. An appeals court earlier this month agreed with the ruling. Biden’s Justice Department now seeks a ruling from the high court on whether the appeals court erred in their decision.
