A federal judge has ruled that the U.S. must stop using a Trump-era public health order to expel migrants with children caught along the U.S.-Mexico border. Opponents say the practice illegally deprives people of their right to seek asylum in the U.S.
U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan gave the government two weeks to halt a practice that opponents say is unnecessary and improperly relies on the threat posed by COVID-19 to deprive people of their right to seek asylum in the United States.
The organization Human Rights First, which has documented cases of kidnapping and sexual assault among families and individuals sent to Mexico under the policy, urged the Biden administration to stop the use of Title 42 before the injunction takes effect in 14 days. Opponents say there is no legitimate public health basis, and no legal authority, to deprive people of their right to seek protection in the United States from persecution in their homeland and that it is essentially a cover for a restrictive immigration policy.
In recent months, Mexico has begun accepting fewer migrant families with children and the U.S. has been allowing some to remain in the country as they seek to stay.
