The Biden administration announced plans to officially lift the controversial policy known as Title 42 on May 23, but there's growing concern that that move could lead to an influx of migrants at the southern border. Last year, migrant encounters more than doubled in all nine southwest border sectors, according to Pew Research.
For a little background: Title 42 was first put in place March of 2020 under the Trump administration. Critics of the policy, including several public health experts, have said it's a misapplication of the law, arguing it was getting used because of immigration concerns, not public health worries. In February of last year, President Biden did sign an executive order exempting unaccompanied minors from expulsion under the policy. Still though, despite repeated calls to end fully end Title 42, the CDC extended the policy in August of 2021.
