Senators propose temporary solution for expiring Title 42 authority amidst border crisis.

Senators Kyrsten Sinema and Thom Tillis have introduced a bipartisan bill to extend President Biden's authority to expel asylum-seeking migrants without holding a hearing, a power that is set to expire May 11, when the COVID-19 public health emergency declaration officially ends. The legislation is also cosponsored by Sens. Joe Manchin and John Cornyn. The bill would give Biden similar authority to expel migrants, and the expulsion power would not be tied to public health. The Biden administration and lawmakers are anticipating a surge in migrants across the U.S.-Mexico border next week when the health order expires.
