A federal appeals court temporarily allowed the Trump administration to continue sending migrants to Mexico to wait for their immigration hearings in the US, hours after issuing a ruling that ended the policy.

Late Friday night, the Ninth Circuit put its ruling on hold after a request by the Trump administration and set a timeline for replies. The policy can continue in the interim.

The Trump administration had asked the court to put a temporary hold on its ruling as soon as Saturday. Lawyers for the Justice Department said they feared "a rush on the southern border by some of the 25,000 or more individuals who are in Mexico under MPP and may now seek immediate entry into this country." The Justice Department alternatively also asked for an administrative stay until March 6 so it could appeal the case to the Supreme Court.
