One to three people per day are being removed from Migrant Protection Protocols or MPP which required asylum seekers to wait in Tijuana for their U.S. immigration court cases
Moments after his immigration case was heard Wednesday, a 51-year-old Cuban asylum seeker sat on a bench in the back of the courtroom and wept openly.
The man was among the first migrants released from MPP this past week with the Biden administration’s announcement that the program was ending, following a lengthy legal battle in federal court. However, days later, most of those enrolled in the program are still waiting to be let into the United States.
In contrast, when the Biden administration initially ended the program in 2021, 25 people were brought into the United States at the San Diego-Tijuana border just on the first day, according to Jewish Family Service, a local nonprofit that assisted in welcoming the asylum seekers onto U.S. soil.Immigration officials responded to the arrival of Ukrainian asylum seekers at the border in the spring at a far faster rate.Ukrainian asylum seekers per day at the San Ysidro Port of Entry.
An official with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which makes immigration custody determinations, later confirmed that the two men were ultimately taken back to the port of entry and then released with alternatives-to-detention devices to monitor their locations within the U.S. “It’s just a really raw deal for them,” she said. “It was just a matter of timing whether they were detained or let in. It’s just ridiculous.”
He was the only person who had an MPP hearing on Wednesday. Two guards stood watch as he listened intently to a court interpreter who relayed the court proceedings to a headset that he wore. The man filled out his change of address form with his brother’s address from memory, though he pulled a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket to double check it once finished.
