Judge orders Biden administration to lift pandemic-era border restrictions

On Tuesday, a federal judge ordered the Biden administration to lift some Trump-era restrictions set in place during the COVID-19 pandemic that have allowed US authorities to expel more than 1 million migrants who have crossed the US-Mexico border. Today, the judge said the order would not go into effect until Dec. 21, to allow the Department of Homeland Security to make the adjustment. Host Marco Werman speaks with Cris Ramón, a consultant for the Migration Policy Institute, to explore what options the Biden Administration — and Mexico have — in moving forward.
