Border agents and state troopers are trying to maintain order at the southern ports of entry as a major policy change for asylum seekers takes effect Thursday at midnight.
Title 42 allowed the U.S. to immediately expel asylum seekers.That confusion, along with a lot of misinformation, have led to growing and restless crowds at the border.
Title 42 used coronavirus restrictions on asylum that allowed the U.S. to quickly expel migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border for the last three years.This week marks the end of pandemic restrictions on asylum that have allowed the U.S. to quickly expel migrants at the southern border for the last three years. Here's what to know.
Mayorkas said migrants who do not follow the new process will be immediately expelled and subject to at least a five-year ban on re-entry into the U.S., as well as facing criminal prosecution if they attempt to cross again.Border Patrol stations are meant to house migrants temporarily and don't have capacity to hold the volume of people coming.As a result, agents were told to begin releasing migrants into the U.S. with instructions to appear at an immigration office within 60 days.
FOX 4 talked with constitutional law attorney David Coale about the legal fallout from the end of Title 42.The Biden administration is now turning away anyone seeking asylum who didn't first seek protection in a country they traveled through, or first applied online.This is a version of a Trump administration policy that was overturned by the courts, so it's not clear whether this restriction will hold up. A lawsuit is expected.
