The first bus of asylum seekers detained in Arizona has been sent across the Texas-Mexico border.

The Trump administration has been using the Remain in Mexico program to send non-Mexican asylum seekers to Mexico for as long as months to wait for their U.S. immigration court date. Remain in Mexico has now been extended to Arizona by busing asylum seekers to Texas and sending them across the border there. The city of Juarez, where many asylum seekers have been sent, said they hope the move is temporary, as their facilities are near capacity and underfunded.

Arizona’s attempt to bypass normal US Immigration failed

The U.S. Supreme Court yesterday left in place last year’s Ninth Circuit decision to strike down a 2006 Arizona law that denied bail to undocumented immigrants charged with “serious” felonies. Six members of the Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal from Arizona Sherriff Joseph Arpaio to reinstate the Arizona law, overruling three of the more conservative members of the Court—Justices Clarence Thomas, Antonin Scalia and Samuel Alito—who said they would have heard the case.
