Hagerty introduces bill to allow Title 42 to be used to protect US from drug smuggling
Fox News
Sen. Bill Hagerty on Wednesday is introducing legislation that would allow the Title 42 public health order -- currently in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic -- to be used to protect the U.S. from the smuggling of deadly drugs like fentanyl.
Now, with COVID-19-related restrictions winding down across the country, immigration activists and top Democrats have increased their calls for the administration to end the border policy. Republicans and some Democrats have expressed concern that doing so will spark another migrant surge, on top of the already high numbers the U.S. is already encountering. The Centers for Disease Control is expected to announce a decision on whether to renew the order in the coming days.
