The Trump administration has prepared plans to implement a policy that would allow U.S. officials to swiftly expel migrants on the grounds that they could spread diseases.
On Friday, the first day since March 2020 in which the U.S. could no longer cite Title 42 to expel migrants, Border Patrol apprehended 6,300 migrants, a sharp drop from earlier in the week.
For the first time in three years, officials along the US-Mexico border can no longer use COVID-19 as a reason to expel migrants to Mexico.
The program, which will initially apply to migrant families heading to four U.S. cities, is part of a larger Biden administration effort to deter migrants from crossing into the U.S. illegally.
Immigration experts say the impending expiration of Title 42 could impact Michigan.
