Feds Deny Entry to Ukrainian Family at U.S.-Mexico Border CheckpointRandy Clark 10 Mar 2022
A family from Ukraine attempted to enter the United States from Tijuana to seek asylum. The 34-year-old mother, who asked to be identified as Sofia, and her 14, 12, and 6-year-old children were summarily turned away on Wednesday by Customs and Border Protection officials citing Title 42 Coronavirus protections as justification.
A Wednesday report from the San Diego Tribune described the case of Sofia and her three children as they traveled from Ukraine and ultimately to Mexico. Sofia learned upon attempting to enter the United States that Title 42, a CDC emergency order to stop the spread of COVID-19, prevented her entry.
The Trump era emergency order that continues under the Biden administration allows CBP to deny entry of persons or items to stop the spread of COVID-19. Although the Department of Homeland Security has recently granted Temporary Protected Status to Ukrainians, the order only applies to nationals already in the United States.
Sofia and her three children left Ukraine shortly after the Russian invasion on February 24, traveling to Romania by car. Sofia and the family then flew through Frankfurt, Germany, to Mexico City. Sofia says her only family outside Ukraine resides in California.
