Trump-Era Title 42 Border Policy Expected To End Today: Chaos at the Border

DALLAS (NewsNation) — The Trump-era policy that allows border officials to turn away migrants at the southern border, known as Title 42, is expected to expire Tuesday After months of legal back-and-forth, the Biden administration attempted to end the policy in spring 2022.

Border officials can refuse to accept asylum seekers if they have concerns about public health due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The Supreme Court last Monday temporarily stopped Title 42’s expiration, citing those same public health concerns. There were indications that Tuesday would see the policy lifted, which could mean an increase of migrant releases. NewsNation’s partner Border Report.

Biden’s administration has not yet made any systemic changes to address the expected surge in migrants if restrictions are lifted. A bipartisan immigration bill bill in Congress has been buried Just as Republicans are poised to take control, so is the House.

According to the administration Title 42 will end and Title 8 will continue. Title 8 expelled migrants who don’t have legal grounds to stay in the country.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is warning immigrants that the administration is continuing to enforce Title 42, after the Supreme Court temporarily halted the Trump-era policy’s expiration.

The DHS on Saturday said regardless of an immigrant’s nationality, “Anyone attempting to enter without authorization is subject to expulsion under Title 42.”

“Those who cannot be expelled pursuant to Title 42 may be placed in expedited removal and anyone ordered removed subject to a bar on entry for 5 years under Title 8,” The agency was also added.

More restrictions were used than 2.5 million times to expel migrants Who came into the U.S. to be with their families?
