In

66-478: A case to stay in the U.S. before an immigration judge. Most migrants subject to the orders were returned to Mexico within hours. Trump advisor Stephen Miller had a role in shaping the policy, and has since defended it in interviews.

99-536: A legal port of entry or if they passed through other countries first without seeking asylum.

165-502: A program to send migrants to cities controlled by Democrats , such as Los Angeles , Chicago , Denver , and Washington, D.C. Title 42 , which resulted in many repeat attempts from people expelled, led to illegal border crossings at record levels between 2021 and 2023, averaging around 2 million people per year, as well as an increase in 'gotaways' which dropped to a record low rate after Title 42 expired.

Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) and four other original cosponsors. The Bill

264-720: The Administrative Procedure Act , noting that the policy was an "arbitrary and capricious" violation of the Act. The ruling required the United States government to process all asylum seekers under immigration law as previous to Title 42's implementation, and Sullivan specifically called out the CDC for intentionally ignoring the negative effects of implementing Title 42 and not considering alternative approaches to expulsion such as vaccination, outdoor processing, and allowing asylum seekers to quarantine with U.S. relatives. Sullivan opined that

297-477: The American Immigration Council . These groups argue that the policy allows the United States to illegally expel asylum seekers without any legal process.

396-561: The Biden administration announced plans to strengthen the number of troops stationed at the U.S.–Mexico border.

462-549: The Mexican government announced that it would stop accepting non-Mexican family units with minor children returned to Mexico under Title 42. In June 2021, it was reported that the Biden administration had been considering rescinding Title 42.

528-642: The border more secure. In fiscal year 2023, CBP figures showed that 169 people on the United States’ terrorist watch list were arrested at the border, compared to 98 in the previous fiscal year and 15 in 2021. In the year after Title 42 ended, the Biden administration deported more people than in any year since 2010. Title 42 has been criticized by several human rights groups including the American Civil Liberties Union , Amnesty International USA , Human Rights Watch , Human Rights First , and

561-452: The case. In February 2021, Mexico stopped accepting families with children under the program. Physicians for Human Rights noted that the policy had been applied unfairly against migrants and asylees and that its stated purpose of containing the spread of COVID-19 was dubious as the U.S. continued to allow millions of people to cross the US–Mexico border weekly. In early February 2021,

594-403: The characteristics of these consortia and the rules they must agree to follow in order to get the funding.

693-531: The entry of persons who potentially pose a health risk by being subject to previously announced travel restrictions or by unlawfully entering the country to bypass health-screening measures. Persons subject to the order are not held in congregate areas for processing and are instead immediately expelled to their country of last transit.

That same month, in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine two months earlier,

759-505: The number of migrants crossing the border increased. To mitigate the potential surge in border crossings following the end of Title 42, the federal government implemented new rules for incoming migrants at the US-Mexico border. These new rules bar from the United States those who attempt to enter illegally for five years if they do not qualify for asylum. The new rule also presumes that migrants are ineligible for asylum if they did not arrive at

The CDC's policy under Title 42

858-453: The policy had no rational basis as COVID-19 was already widespread throughout the U.S. when the program was initiated. The ruling was celebrated by the ACLU , a plaintiff in the case.

891-537: The second-highest official at the CDC, testified that the expulsions of migrants under Title 42 lacked a sufficient public health rationale.

On April 1, 2022, the CDC officially announced they would end Title 42 expulsions. However, in order to allow for

Sullivan , ruled that expulsions under Title 42 were a violation of

In March 2020, the Center for Disease Control under the Trump administration issued a public health order allowing for the rapid expulsion of unauthorized border crossers and asylum seekers, citing COVID-19 concerns.
