U.S. Judge Blocks Title 42, Which Has Expelled 2 Million Migrants Since 2020

HeadlineNov 16, 2022

In immigration news, a federal judge on Tuesday blocked the Biden administration from continuing to enforce the Trump-era Title 42 policy to expel migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border without due process. Over 2 million migrants have been expelled to Mexico since Title 42 was first enacted in March 2020. Biden officials repeatedly extended the policy even as migrants and advocates denounced deadly conditions and human rights violations in Mexico. Tuesday’s ruling stemmed from a lawsuit filed by the ACLU.
