The Biden administration is planning to scrap a Trump-era public health authority restricting illegal immigration by May 23 — despite repeated warnings from Democratic lawmakers who represent border states, according to multiple reports.
“We have every expectation that when the CDC ultimately decides it’s appropriate to lift Title 42 there will be an influx of people to the border,” Bedingfield added. “And so we are doing a lot of work to plan for that contingency.” When President Biden took office, he vowed to roll back many immigration policies put in place by the Trump administration, including Title 42. However, multiple state and federal court rulings kept the policy in place.
Texas Democratic Reps. Henry Cuellar and Vincente Gonzalez — along with more than a dozen Lone Star State Republicans —to Department of Homeland Security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra this week, saying ending Title 42 would produce “catastrophic results.”
“In fact, Axios reports that DHS estimates that 25,000 migrants reside in Mexican shelters just south of the U.S. border, waiting for Title 42 to end. And some U.S. intelligence estimates reportedly indicate that an influx of more than 170,000 migrants could materialize if the public health authority is lifted,” the letter continues.
