The Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) refers to a set of interview policies and procedures published on January 28, 2019 [1] by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service, which effectively prohibits entry into the United States of non-citizen asylum seekers.
Section 235(b)(2)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which is operationalized in 8 USC 1225 of the US Federal Register, states,"Treatment of aliens arriving from contiguous territory. In the case of an alien described in subparagraph (A) who is arriving on land (whether or not at a designated port of arrival) from a foreign territory contiguous to the United States, the Attorney General may return the alien to that territory pending a proceeding under section 1229a of this title."[2]
As of November 15, 2019, approximately 60,000 asylum seekers have been returned across the US southern border to wait until their immigration hearings under the new policy announced by the Trump administration in December of 2018[3],which reversed the prior policy whereby such individuals could remain in the United States during the waiting process for their immigration hearing.
Former asylum officer, Doug Stephens, is the first asylum officer to formally refuse to conduct interviews under the MPP. He subsequently resigned from federal service.[4]
