A Guide to Title 42 Expulsions at the Border

“A Guide to Title 42 Expulsions at the Border” by the American Immigration Council provides comprehensive information about Title 42, how it has been implemented, its impact and whether it has or not served its intended purpose.   The introduction offers a explanation of the importance of the Guide:

“[S]ince March 20, 2020, that fundamental right [to apply for asylum] has been largely suspended. Since that date, both migrants seeking a better life in the United States and those seeking to apply for asylum have been turned away and `expelled’ back to Mexico or their home countries. These border expulsions are carried out under . .  . section 265 of Title 42, which the former Trump administration invoked . . . . Using this provision, hundreds of thousands of people have been subject to expulsions since the pandemic . . . .”
