In Nogales, Sonora, hundreds of migrants have been stranded under President Donald Trump's Migrant Protection Protocols. President Joe Biden ended the rule and took steps to allow certain migrants under “Remain in Mexico” to be admitted to the U.S. But so far, only about 13,000 have been processed, leaving the thousands more in limbo once again following the Supreme Court’s refusal to block a lower court’s ruling saying the program MPP was ended improperly.
