The Biden administration’s program to admit migrants using an exception to a major expulsion order if they crossed illegally is leading to family separations, according to multiple reports.
The program allows individual migrants to make appointments through a phone application, known as CBP One, to apply for an appointment to get an exception to Title 42, the Trump-era expulsion order used to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. Parents are being forced to weigh a difficult decision of sending their children to cross the border when they can’t get appointments with the family for the admissions process, an immigration lawyer and advocates told Border Report.

“You two can enter, but not your children,” a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer told migrants, who spoke with the Los Angeles Times.
CBP has recorded a surge in illegal migration at the southern border. The agency recorded more than 2.3 million migrant encounters at the U.S.-Mexico border in fiscal year 2022 alone.
