MEXICO CITY (Reuters) -The Mexican government said on Monday it is opposed to a possible restart of the U.S. immigration policy known as "Remain in Mexico" which required asylum seekers to wait for U.S. hearings in Mexico.

President Joe Biden has sought to end the program, which had been introduced by the Trump administration and is currently suspended.
