UN urges Biden to end Title 42 restrictions that allow for migrant removals due to COVID-19 risk
Fox News
The United Nations is urging the Biden administration to “swiftly” end the Title 42 public health restrictions, which were implemented during the Trump administration in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic -- and allow for the quick expulsion of migrants who come to the border.
The Trump administration implemented "Title 42" public health restrictions in March 2020 in response to the coronavirus pandemic. The restrictions allow for the rapid expulsion of migrants at the border for public health reasons. While the Biden administration has rolled back a number of Trump-era border protections, it has kept Title 42 largely in place -- although crucially it is not removing unaccompanied children and some migrant families. Critics have claimed that has encouraged more children and families to make the dangerous trek to the border.More Related News
