Trump Administration Reportedly Plans to Revive Title 42 Border Policy

The proposed measure would allow rapid expulsion of migrants by designating them as public health risks, citing concerns over communicable diseases.

Title 42, originally introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic, allowed for the swift removal of migrants to prevent the spread of diseases.
The Trump administration is reportedly preparing to reinstate the policy, with the CDC expected to issue new guidance labeling migrants as public health risks.
Diseases such as tuberculosis, measles, and respiratory illnesses are reportedly being cited as justification for the policy's return.
The Biden administration had allowed Title 42 to expire in May 2023 after declaring an end to the public health emergency.
Illegal border crossings have significantly decreased since Trump returned to office, with officials crediting stricter immigration policies.
