US's commitment as a land of refuge in question as migrant policy ends.

The Title 42 public health order, which has allowed officials to quickly expel migrants without giving them access to asylum for years now, is expected to finally end on 11 May. However, the US government is advancing hardline policies to keep people out, potentially hindering the country's commitment as a land of refuge. The proposed legislation would significantly curtail asylum, limit other humanitarian pathways, restart border wall construction, do away with safeguards for migrant kids, and otherwise rewrite the US’s laws to be far less welcoming to those in need of protection. The White House and its agencies are also exploring strategies that could chip away at the US’s humanitarian commitments.
