The Supreme Court on Wednesday canceled courtroom arguments scheduled for the next few weeks over two aspects of former President Donald Trump’s immigration policy — a reflection of the new administration’s reversal on both issues.
The court granted the Justice Department’s request to remove two Trump administration appeals of lower court rulings from the argument calendar, one being against the use of Pentagon money to build the southern border wall and the other against making immigrants wait in Mexico instead of the U.S.
Stopping the wall project was among the first steps President Joe Biden took after he was sworn into office.
“It shall be the policy of my administration that no more American taxpayer dollars be diverted to construct a border wall,” Biden wrote in a proclamation signed Jan. 20.
