The White House said it plans to ask a federal court to keep US coronavirus restrictions for migrants at the southern border.
In response to a separate lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of a group of asylum-seekers, Sullivan gave the Biden administration until Dec. 21 to bring Title 42 to an end, writing that he did so only “WITH GREAT RELUCTANCE.”
Migrants who crossed the Rio Grande river into the United States are taken away by Border Patrol agents in Texas.Title 42 allowed border agents to push migrants back across the border for public health reasons without first hearing their asylum claims.
The Biden administration added that it disagreed with Sullivan’s decision and insisted the “CDC’s Title 42 Orders were lawful … and that this Court erred in vacating those agency actions.”The filing also indicated that the Department of Health and Human Services and the CDC intend “to undertake a new rulemaking to reconsider the framework under which the CDC Director may exercise her authority … to respond to dangers posed by future communicable diseases.
The ban has been unevenly enforced by nationality, falling largely on migrants from Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador — as well as Mexicans — because Mexico allows them to be returned from the United States. Last month, Mexico began accepting Venezuelans who are expelled from the United States under Title 42, causing a sharp drop in Venezuelans seeking asylum at the US border.
The asylum rule has been used by the Biden administration to expel migrant families and single adults, though not children traveling alone.
