The administration is planning to restart the policy in November in order to comply with a federal court order issued earlier this year. Joe Biden had originally decided to end the policy because he said too many migrants were facing violence in Mexico while awaiting their court date. According to officials, the administration is aiming to make several changes to the rule, which requires asylum seekers to wait in Mexico for court hearings. Officials have also been holding talks with the Mexican government in order to address concerns they have about the reinstatement. Republicans have been calling for President Biden to reinstate the Trump-era "Remain in Mexico" policy for 9 months. What took him so long? Wi
