"At the same time that we are vigorously fighting against this court ruling and issuing this memorandum calling for the end of the policy, the Secretary of the Department will comply with the court order and will continue to take the necessary measures to re-implement Stay in Mexico," said a senior Administration official at a press conference Thursday.
