COVID-19 Asylum Limits At U.S.-Mexico Border To End May 23

The Biden administration plans to end Title 42, a pandemic-related asylum restriction, which could lead to increased migration to the US. Title 42, a Trump-era policy, was used to curb COVID-19 by turning away asylum seekers. Critics argue it lacks scientific justification. The policy has led to 1.7 million expulsions, often endangering migrants. The administration aims to end the policy in May, preparing for a potential surge of 18,000 migrants daily. This involves increasing border resources to avoid past crises. The decision faces political challenges, with Republicans urging an extension of Title 42. Once lifted, traditional asylum processing will resume, with some migrants monitored within the US.
