Title 42 is a public health order that was invoked by the Trump administration in March 2020 to expel migrants at the US-Mexico border during the COVID-19 pandemic. The order allows the US government to rapidly expel migrants without giving them the opportunity to seek asylum.

How does Title 42 work?

Under Title 42, migrants who are apprehended at the border are screened for COVID-19 symptoms and then either expelled to their home country or returned to Mexico. Migrants are not allowed to enter the US to seek asylum, and they are not given any opportunity to challenge their expulsions in court.

Migrants are not allowed to enter the US to seek asylum, and they are not given any opportunity to challenge their expulsions in court.

The screening process for COVID-19 symptoms is relatively simple. Migrants are asked a few questions about their health, and they may be asked to take a temperature check. If a migrant is found to have COVID-19 symptoms, they are isolated and treated for the virus.

Migrants who are expelled to their home country are typically flown back to their country of origin. Migrants who are returned to Mexico are typically taken to a port of entry in Mexico, where they are released into the country.

Why is Title 42 ending?

The Biden administration announced in April 2022 that it would end Title 42 on May 23, 2022. The administration said that the order is no longer necessary to protect public health, as COVID-19 cases have declined and vaccines are widely available.

The Biden administration also said that Title 42 is being used to circumvent the US asylum system. The administration said that Title 42 has been used to expel migrants who are fleeing violence and persecution and that this is a violation of their human rights.

What will happen when Title 42 ends?

It is unclear what will happen when Title 42 ends. The Biden administration has said that it will be prepared to handle an increase in migration at the border, but it is not clear how it will do so. Some experts have warned that the end of Title 42 could lead to a surge in migration, as migrants who have been waiting in Mexico for months will be able to enter the US to seek asylum.

The Biden administration has said that it will increase the number of asylum officers and detention facilities at the border and that it will work with Mexico to improve conditions for migrants who are waiting in Mexico. However, it is unclear if these measures will be enough to handle an increase in migration.

What are the arguments for and against Title 42?

  • There are strong arguments both for and against Title 42.
  • Arguments in favor of Title 42:
  • Title 42 has helped to protect public health during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Title 42 has helped to deter illegal immigration.
  • Title 42 has helped to ensure that migrants are not exposed to dangerous conditions in US detention facilities.
  • Arguments against Title 42:
  • Title 42 violates the rights of migrants to seek asylum.
  • Title 42 has been used to expel migrants who are fleeing violence and persecution.
  • Title 42 has contributed to the humanitarian crisis in Mexico.

What is the future of Title 42?

It is unclear what the future of Title 42 is. The Biden administration has said that it will end the order on May 23, 2022, but it is possible that the order could be extended or reinstated by a future administration.
