Fox News
Vulnerable Ohio Democrat Senator Sherrod Brown signed a 2020 letter condemning Title 42 as a "CDC asylum ban" but recently signed onto a proposal to extend it for two more years.
"CDC asylum ban: In March 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued an order 21 that permits DHS to summarily expel asylum-seekers, upending decades of congressionally mandated procedures and further endangering populations at risk of harm," the 2020 letter signed by dozens of Democrats read.

"The CDC order appears designed to further an ongoing agenda to exclude asylum seekers, in violation of Congress’ plain word and intent," the letter continued. "The UN Refugee Agency has stated clearly, in the context of COVID-19: ‘Denial of access to territory without safeguards to protect against refoulement cannot be justified on the grounds of any health risk.’"
