Folks have been suing the gov about the Safe Third a country agreement since 2005 - opposition isn't new. And yes, the courts did strike it down but the gov appealed, and it's still under review.

The govs website about the agreement even includes a section on why the US is considered a safe country.

I think assuming they are 'behind the curve' is ... generous.

Cops don't exist to protect you and they don't have to be physically fit to serve their purpose: using the threat of violence and the prison industrial complex to protect the interests of capital.
