Amicus Letter to Mexican Supreme Court on “Remain in Mexico”
Human Rights First submitted this letter with regard to the amparo case number 606/2022 of Fundación para la Justicia y el Estado Democrático de Derecho, A.C. in its challenge to the Migrant Protection Protocols, also known as the “Remain in Mexico” policy.
The Remain in Mexico policy effectively paints a target on the backs of asylum-seekers and migrants returned to Mexico resulting in a devastating toll of violent attacks on them. This policy cannot be carried out humanely, safely, or legally.
