Biden Admin Ends Trump-Era Rule Expediting Removal of Some Migrants
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is discontinuing a policy expanded under former President Donald Trump that called for the expedited removal of some migrants who were already in the United States.
DHS said in a statement to Newsweek that the agency "conducted a thorough review of the July 2019 expedited removal designation," and that recession "was consistent with the Department's need to prioritize its limited enforcement resources ... by utilizing expedited removal as a border enforcement tool for certain recent entrants."
The document to be published Monday in the Federal Registry comes as hundreds of thousands of migrants continue to try to cross the border every month. The expanded program allowed for the expedited removal of any noncitizen who was encountered anywhere in the country.
Democrats and immigration advocacy groups have been calling on President Joe Biden to completely rescind Title 42, and intelligence officials have said doing so would cause a massive influx of migrants at the southwest border. Homeland Security estimates it's possible that about 25,000 migrants are already waiting in shelters south of the U.S.-Mexico border, Axios reported.
