The Biden administration has announced that the United States will end its use of Title 42, the contentious policy that prevented most asylum seekers from applying for protection at the country’s southern border with Mexico.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said Title 42 will be rescinded by May 23, but that expulsions of adults and families will continue until then. Unaccompanied children have been exempt since January of last year.
Since Title 42 was put in place, more than 1.7 million expulsions were carried out
Department of Homeland Security published a fact sheet detailing its preparations for a potential increase in asylum seekers arriving at the border, which included deploying more personnel and expediting asylum claims.
A central part of the new asylum procedures is called the “dedicated docket”, where determinations on cases will be made within 90 days at the border – rather than in immigration courts, where the process can take years.
