Return some asylum seekers to Mexico

This bill would require the Department of Homeland Security to run the Migrant Protection Protocols again. DHS would have to follow the memo from Secretary Nielsen dated January 25, 2019. The requirement would apply even if other federal laws conflict. Some noncitizens and asylum seekers would be returned to Mexico to wait for U.S. immigration hearings. Border processing and enforcement could change. There is no new funding or end date. The change would take effect on enactment.
