WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Carlos A. Gimenez (FL-26) introduced today the Migrant Protection Protocols Act. The legislation amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to codify the Trump administration's "Remain in Mexico" policy, which ensured migrants were returned to Mexico for the duration of their immigration proceedings and were given a notice to appear in an immigration court instead of being let loose in the country.
