White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre took a series of questions on the looming expiration of Title 42 on Dec. 21, though when it came to specifics of how the Biden administration is going to tackle the expected influx of illegal immigrants, she did not provide specifics.
Jean-Pierre told reporters the administration was doing the work to produce a plan that addresses migrants coming over the border illegally after Dec. 21.
A court ordered the Biden administration to stop using authority under Title 42 – a public health order that has been used since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic to return migrants to Mexico – after it was found to be unlawful.
According to the Department of Homeland Security, an estimated 9,000 to 15,000 migrant crossings could occur each day once Title 42 expires.
When asked about the warning from DHS and the estimated number of people expected to cross the border once the authority is removed, Jean-Pierre came up blank.
