A high-level source within the Department of Homeland Security says the agency set a tentative date of April 1, 2022, to end the emergency Centers for Disease Control and Prevention migrant expulsion authority, Title 42.
The move, according to the source has the agency scrambling to deal with the mass migration event expected to hit the U.S./Mexico border as a result of the action.
Volunteers are being sought with Spanish Language skills to assist with processing and data entry tasks that will be required to process migrants who will be allowed to now make claims of asylum that were prohibited under the Title 42 emergency order. The change in posture at the southern border will add hours of administrative processing requirements not needed under the CDC emergency expulsion authority.
The DHS volunteer email request ends with a statement that states “With honor and integrity, we will safeguard the American people, our homeland, and our values.” Under the Trump-era CDC Title 42 authority, migrants have been returned to Mexico from a host of countries to avoid the spread of a communicable disease. The average administrative processing time for the Border Patrol, according to the source, is less than ten minutes. Legacy processing under current immigration laws that allow for an asylum petition to be submitted requires nearly two hours of administrative processing.
