“WASHINGTON — Democrats at a U.S. House Homeland Security panel hearing on Wednesday praised the end of a Trump-era policy that turned away migrants pleading for asylum at the border.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said that the so-called Title 42 policy, enacted on public health grounds at the beginning of the pandemic, will end on May 23.
“This order was a pretext to close the border to Black, Brown, and Indigenous people,” the chair of the Border Security, Facilitation, & Operations Subcommittee, Nanette Barragán, said.
“Leading medical experts have consistently argued throughout Title 42’s use that there has never been a solid public health justification for closing our border just to asylum seekers,” the California Democrat said.
However, the announcement has sparked debate — several U.S. Senate Democrats are breaking with the Biden administration’s decision to lift the policy, while Republicans continue to strongly criticize it and predict a surge in immigration.”
