It’s been more than a month since the Title 42 border restriction was lifted on May 11. The controversial public health policy was used to rapidly turn back migrants more than 2.8 million times since 2020.

Now, asylum seekers must navigate a patchwork of convoluted policies and outcomes meant to replace Title 42. The American Immigration Council has compiled the process for migrants into a list of 15 “not-at-all-easy” steps to seeking asylum under the new rules.
Here’s what asylum seekers are facing after the end of Title 42.
