The end of 'Remain in Mexico' immigration policy uplifts hope for immigration advocates but changes little for asylum seekers at the border, say Chicago-area advocates

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : While this is a welcome ruling and a hopeful moment for immigration activists, there are other ongoing efforts in Congress and the judiciary to uphold other tenets of President Donald Trump's migration policies, including the preservation of Title 42, a pandemic-era policy that allows Border Patrol to turn away asylum-seekers.
52% : "Those at the border may not even have access to that -- so how can they even get their case approved?" Nicole Hallett, director of the University of Chicago's Immigrants' Rights Clinic and a practicing immigration rights' lawyer,has represented a number of clients in the Chicago area seeking asylum.
48% : With the recent Supreme Court ruling she expects to see more asylum-seekers in Chicago immigration courts litigating their claims to asylum in the months to come.
42% : The lawsuits, some of which have worked their way through to the Supreme Court, resulted in the continuation of "Remain in Mexico" and Title 42 and threats against DACA, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals.
