On Mandy, desperate Mexican migrants expressed their frustration as the U.S. government failed to lift a pandemic-era policy that has prohibited them from seeking asylum in the U.S.
The policy called ‘Title 42’ order was issued under the Trump administration, allowing U.S. Customs and Border Protection to deport migrants to Mexico or back to their home countries to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Biden administration was set to drop it
A judge blocked plans to lift the policy on Friday.
Title 42 has been excessively used to expel migrants since March 2020.
According to Reuters “, tens of thousands of migrants have been waiting in Mexico, often for months, for the end of the policy.”
