LGBT asylum-seekers exempt from 'Remain in Mexico' policy and can stay in US

Asylum-seekers who arrive at the southern border and claim to be LGBT are exempt from the U.S.-Mexico “Remain in Mexico†policy and will not be returned to Mexico to await decisions by U.S. immigration judges, several U.S. border officials told the Washington Examiner.
"Mexican immigration is not taking anybody back into Mexico under the MPP [Migration Protection Protocols] program that’s identifying as part of the LGBT community. If they say they’re gay or bisexual, any of those, Mexico won’t take them back,†one official said.
Rank-and-file officers working at ports of entry as well as agents who process asylum-seekers who have illegally crossed from Mexico and are to be returned south of the border are well aware asylum-seekers who identify as LGBT are not eligible for the program, according to three senior U.S. Customs and Border Protection and National Border Patrol Council officials.

This is the pits. Can't send back someone who says he/she is gay. If you read the article, there are others we can't send back. Can't send back anyone who has a medical problem, including pregnant women, anyone who says he/she has a mental problem. unaccompanied children, and others are listed. This is the agreement made by Trump and the Mexican government. 9999hair out0000

In the same district? She has said Somalia is a better place than the U.S. so send them right on to Somalia. And if they should be thrown off a building, they can blame her for bad information. :whistle:
