But in late March, the Trump administration enacted new rules allowing migrants to be removed without standard proceedings. The president argued the changes were made due to concerns that people attempting to enter the country illegally could spread COVID-19 to border agents and the public. Officials have also said they're acting according to guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to slow the spread of the virus.
The expulsion policy is set to expire on May 20, but acting Commissioner of Customs and Border Protection Mark Morgan told reporters during a conference call last week that it may be extended.
