Biden administration resumes fast-track deportation flights for migrants denied asylum

The Biden administration has started fast-track deportation flights to Central America for migrants who have been denied asylum in the U.S. after arriving at the southern border.

"Asylum and other legal migration pathways should be readily available to those who need them, and this Administration is committed to fairly and efficiently considering asylum claims," DHS said in a statement. "Those not seeking protection or who do not qualify will be promptly returned to their country of origin." Those removed are those who are judged not to have a valid asylum claim and who are not able to be expelled via Title 42 public health protections. The Biden administration has been removing most single adults under Title 42, but has not been expelling unaccompanied children or migrant families with children under the age of seven.
