The Remain in Canada Act of 2024 would require the Department of Homeland Security to implement the Migrant Protection Protocols at the U.S.-Canada border. These protocols, originally developed for the southern border in 2019, would require certain asylum seekers and migrants to wait in Canada while their immigration cases are processed in the United States, rather than remaining in the U.S. during the process. The bill applies the same framework that was previously used at the Mexico border to the northern border with Canada. The legislation would take effect upon enactment, with no specific funding or implementation timeline beyond that requirement. The bill was introduced in March 2024 by Republican members of Congress.
