Biden Administration Sued Over , New Immigration Policy.
'Newsweek' reports that advocates
for immigrants' rights have sued the
Biden administration over its new asylum ban.
'Newsweek' reports that advocates
for immigrants' rights have sued the
Biden administration over its new asylum ban.
The news comes after the controversial lifting of Title 42
public health measures, which had been reinstated at
the height of the pandemic to stem the flow of immigration.
Title 42 allowed authorities to
quickly expel migrants at U.S. borders
to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
CNN reports that Title 42 was used to
expel approximately 2.5 million migrants
between March 2020 and November 2022.
With the policy coming to an end, a surge
of migrants have arrived at the border with
the hope of claiming asylum in the U.S. .
Title 42 has been replaced by Title 8,
which carries more severe consequences for
migrants deemed unqualified for entry into the U.S.
Now, migrants turned away at the border will not
only be deported, but will also be banned from
reentering the country for the next five years.
Immigrants' rights advocates claim the new measures are reminiscent of Trump-era policies which were blocked by courts, 'Newsweek' reports.
People fleeing persecution
have a legal right to seek asylum,
no matter how they reach the border, Melissa Crow, director of litigation at the Center
for Gender & Refugee Studies, via 'Newsweek'.
Our asylum system was designed to
protect people fleeing imminent threats
to their lives, who do not have the luxury
of waiting for an elusive appointment
or for an application to be adjudicated
in a country where they are in danger. , Melissa Crow, director of litigation at the Center
for Gender & Refugee Studies, via 'Newsweek'.
The Biden administration has had over
two years to set up a fair and humane
asylum process post-Title 42. That it has
instead chosen to resurrect and repackage
illegal Trump-era policies is reprehensible, Melissa Crow, director of litigation at the Center
for Gender & Refugee Studies, via 'Newsweek'
