Will DHS End Title 42 Entirely
 
Preston Huennekens
Government Relations Manager

It is no small secret that the United States is currently facing a border crisis. Already through the first six months of Fiscal Year 2021, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has apprehended 569,879 illegal aliens at the Southwest border - more than the entire number of apprehensions in FY 2020.

This all started when President Biden exited out of successful asylum agreements struck with Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador. Then, in a head-scratching move, President Biden ended Title 42 restrictions against unaccompanied alien minors (UAMs). This had the predictable effect of leading to a surge of UAM apprehensions. That said, CBP turns away the majority of apprehended adults at the border and releases them back into Mexico. Title 42 is truly the only policy keeping the current crisis from becoming a catastrophe.

According to media reports, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is looking to end this effective policy soon.
