# DHS winds down Remain in Mexico (MPP) under a Biden-directed halt

Date: 2021

## The fact

In 2021 the [Biden](/people/env-person-joe-biden) administration wound down the Migrant Protection Protocols (Remain in Mexico). A February executive directed review; DHS issued a June termination.

## Context

Courts later forced temporary restarts. Neighbouring Title 42 sat in parallel. He did not sit as every asylum officer.

Title 42 2023 is later. FY2023 encounters are a child table.

The President of the United States signs enrolled bills and is Commander in Chief. He does not write a Senate roll-call, a CBP sector tally, an IDF campaign, or a CBO score. A signature is not unique authorship of every title Congress enrolled. Drafting and floor votes remain with Congress. An archived [White House](/organizations/white-house) (https://bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov/) is the official carrier for this term; current whitehouse.gov is not this administration. Office-holding is not authorship of every later CPI print, encounter table, or foreign campaign.

## Evidence and sources

U.S. Department of Homeland Security carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

The path is [migration-policy restrictiveness](/drivers/mig-policy-restrictiveness): a completed halt of a return-to-Mexico protocol is a dated enforcement-weather change.

## What is established and what is not

Established: 2021 MPP wind-down directed by the administration and carried by DHS, independently reported.

Not established: that every later encounter was this memo, or that courts never restarted a version of the programme.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

DHS wrote the termination. Courts later sat. CBP still processed arrivals.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies DHS winds down Remain in Mexico (MPP) under a Biden-directed halt, not a later speech about DHS winds down Remain in Mexico (MPP) under a Biden-directed halt.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. DHS winds down Remain in Mexico (MPP) under a Biden-directed halt on 2021-06-01 is not a licence to treat every later U.S. Department of Homeland Security communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average DHS winds down Remain in Mexico (MPP) under a Biden-directed halt into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He directed the halt. DHS wrote the termination. Courts later sat. CBP still processed arrivals. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
