The Supreme Court on Monday will take a look at two cases, including the Trump administration policies applied on the US-Mexico border.

These two policies involve a ruling that makes asylum-seekers wait in Mexico for U.S. High Court hearings.

The second policy to be reviewed will be about the Trump administration's funding on building a border wall.

The justice's decision continues its practice to review the lower court rulings, which found the Trump administration's immigration policies illegal over the past four years.

Most of the notable policies were the Trump administration's travel ban on visitors from some Muslim countries.

In June, the court decided to keep the legal protections for immigrants who came to the U.S. as children.

The justices will not hear either new cases until 2021, according to an AP News report. That is because the presidential election outcome could make the cases go away or reduce their significance.

Democrat presidential bet Joe Biden has vowed to end "Migrant Protection Protocols" if he wins the election. The Trump administration considers "Migrant Protection Protocols" an important feature of immigration.

Border Wall

Much money from funding the construction of the border wall has already been spent. However, it is still unclear what could be done about the wall that has already been built if the president will not be reelected.

Biden earlier said that he would stop the construction of the wall. But he added that the wall built under the Trump administration would not be torn down.

The wall's opponents said that the president could not spend more than Congress has allowed.

The opponents' lawsuit said that the emergency declaration law pushed by the president allows the use of Pentagon construction funds only to support the military.

"There is no emergency requiring the use of the armed forces along the U.S.-Mexico border, and construction of a border wall is not necessary to support such use of the armed forces," according to the lawsuit reported by NBC News.

Sierra Club, who is part of the wall's opponents, said the wall would also cause environmental damage.

Gloria Smith, the group's managing attorney, said that endangered species could disappear from the southern border, while this destructive project decimates fragile landscapes.

Remain in Mexico Policy

The "Remain in Mexico" policy officially started in January 2019. It became the main feature of the administration's response to the surge of asylum-seeking families from Central American countries at the border.

The said policy gained criticism for having these asylum-seekers wait in dangerous Mexican cities. The lower court concluded that the policy is probably illegal.

However, earlier this year, the Supreme Court has allowed the policy to remain in effect while a lawsuit is taking place in the courts. Over 60,000 asylum-seekers were returned to Mexico under the policy.

According to AP News, the Justice Department said there were still 25,000 people approximately waiting in Mexico for hearings. Those hearings were suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Judy Rabinovitz, an attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union, said that the courts have ruled against it, and the Supreme Court should do the same. Rabinovitz called the policy "illegal and depraved."
