A federal appeals court has ruled to allow the Biden administration to continue applying the pandemic-era protocol, Title 42, to migrant families at the U.S.-Mexico border. As that battle plays out in court, families at the border in Arizona are still trying to make their case for asylum.
Title 42 was enacted under the Trump administration at the onset of the pandemic last year and allows Border Patrol agents to rapidly deport almost all migrants apprehended along the border. The practice has come under fire because it makes it harder to apply for asylum, but Biden has continued to use it on some families and almost all single adults.
Thursday’s decision is the latest in a lengthy legal battle the ACLU has mounted against the policy. A previous court ruled in the ACLU’s favor, and gave the government two weeks to stop using Title 42 on families. That was supposed to happen Thursday, but the new order eliminates that deadline.
Title 42 says that we can deport refugees back to Mexico quickly because COVID makes it a medical emergency.
It's the ACLU who's fighting Title 42 deportations.
Are you surprised Joe is using Title 42 to deport aliens?
