Judge’s decision to block ‘Remain in Mexico’ migration policy unfair to US, says Trump
Moscow, Apr 9 (Sputnik): US President Donald Trump described a federal judge’s decision to block his administration's policy, which forces migrants to wait in Mexico while their asylum claims are processed, as a move that is “unfair to the United States.”
On Monday, US federal Judge Richard Seeborg of the state of California issued a preliminary injunction to block the Trump administration's “Remain in Mexico” migration policy.
“A 9th Circuit Judge just ruled that Mexico is too dangerous for migrants. So unfair to the U.S. OUT OF CONTROL!” Trump wrote on his Twitter page.
The Trump administration has been making efforts to stop illegal migration into the United States, even threatening to close the southern border.
According to Mexico’s Ministry of Internal Affairs, more than 76,000 migrants were detained after trying to get into the United States in February, while in March the figure was expected to increase to 100,000.
Mexican Interior Minister Olga Sanchez Cordero has said if the current migration flow remains unchanged, the number of migrants trying to get through Mexico to the United States will reach 900,000 people by the end of this year.
