Title 42, the United States pandemic rule that had been used to immediately deport hundreds of thousands of migrants who crossed the border illegally over the last three years, has expired. Those migrants will have the opportunity to apply for asylum. President Biden's new rules to replace Title 42 are facing legal challenges. The US Homeland Security Department announced a rule to make it extremely difficult for anyone who travels through another country, like Mexico, to qualify for asylum. Although there was a rise in border crossings leading up to the end of Title 42, migrant crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border have unexpectedly fallen since Title 42 expired. The Biden administration said that reinstating criminal penalties for illegal entry is likely the biggest reason for the slowdown. Some immigrants have said they worry about tighter controls and uncertainty ahead. Immigration is once again a major focus of the media as we examine the humanitarian, political, and public health issues migrants must face.
Below are some of the latest headlines in the Immigration channel on Newswise.
