The Biden administration decided to maintain a border policy of expelling migrants, citing COVID-19
After a recent internal review, the Biden administration decided to maintain a pandemic-era order put in place under former President Donald Trump that authorizes the rapid deportation of migrants from the U.S.-Mexico border, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told CBS News Thursday.
On Thursday, a CDC spokesperson said the agency decided to continue invoking the expulsion authority, known as Title 42, after a third 60-day assessment that was due on February 2. The CDC, the spokesperson noted,"continues to emphasize the need for testing, vaccination, and other mitigation measures at border facilities beyond the use of the Order."of CDC officials, has allowed the U.S. to"expel" migrants to Mexico or their home countries without allowing them to see a judge or an asylum officer, safeguards in U.S. law the government has argued it can suspend during a global pandemic.
