CDC To Lift Order Restricting Immigration During Pandemic

The CDC has lifted its pandemic-related immigration restrictions, which previously allowed officials to expel undocumented migrants seeking asylum to prevent COVID spread. The Biden administration is expected to announce this change, which may double the number of migrants crossing the Mexico border, currently at 7,000 per day. The new policy will take effect in May.
