The Biden administration is planning to end Trump-era pandemic restrictions on the US-Mexico border by May 23, according to three US officials
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is finalizing its assessment of the public health authority, known as Title 42, according to CDC spokeswoman Kathleen Conley, and is expected to announce a decision this week on whether to repeal, modify or extend the authority.The Biden administration has been under mounting pressure from Democrats and immigrant advocates to end the public health authority, which critics say was never justified by science and puts migrants in harm's way.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas appointed FEMA Region 3's Regional Administrator, MaryAnn Tierney, in March to head the center. The end of the Trump-era pandemic restrictions would mean a return to traditional protocols, which might include releasing migrants into the US while they go through their immigration proceedings, detaining migrants, or removing them if they don't have an asylum claim.
