The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced on Friday that the agency will begin processing the estimated 25,000 persons who were ordered by the Trump administration to stay in Mexico pursuant to the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) though current COVID-19 regulations at the border would remain in place.

In a press release, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas reiterated that President Biden is trying to move to a less onerous immigration policy.

“As President Biden has made clear, the U.S. government is committed to rebuilding a safe, orderly, and humane immigration system,” Mayorkas said. “This latest action is another step in our commitment to reform immigration policies that do not align with our nation’s values.”

However, Mayorkas stipulated that the coronavirus pandemic, “restrictions at the border remain in place and will be enforced.”

He also directed those who were not enrolled in the MPP program or who do not have active immigration court cases to await “further instructions.”-- excerpt, rest at link above --
