US Implements Stricter Immigration Policies as Title 42 Expires.
TL;DR Summary
The US has replaced pandemic-era restrictions at the US-Mexico border with new policies designed to deter or even physically prevent people from crossing the border without permission. The new regulations will presume people who arrive at the border without using a lawful pathway to be ineligible for asylum. The expired rule, known as Title 42, was in place since March 2020. It allowed border officials to quickly return asylum seekers back over the border on grounds of preventing the spread of Covid-19. After Thursday, migrants face being barred from entering the US for five years and possible criminal prosecution.
