Oxfam reaction to the restart of "Remain in Mexico"

By

In response to media reports that the Biden administration will announce today the restart of the "Remain in Mexico" program, Oxfam America's Global Policy Lead, Noah Gottschalk, said the following:

"There is no safe, humane, or legal way to send asylum seekers back into harm's way. Tinkering with the 'Remain in Mexico' program does nothing to change that. Restarting this program - in any form - violates both the rights of people seeking protection and the promises President Biden made to build a fair and humane asylum system.

"Countless people are still suffering from the harm caused by 'Remain in Mexico'. The Biden administration was right to issue a second termination memo of this shameful program, and must now do everything in its power to put an end to the policy once and for all."
