Biden Admin To Remove Trump-Era Border Security Policy

As the border crisis continues, Democrat President Joe Biden’s administration is reportedly preparing to end a border security policy from former President Trump’s administration.

According to The Wall Street Journal, the “Biden administration plans to end its use of Title 42, a Trump-era pandemic border policy that allows the government to immediately turn away migrants at the southern border, by the end of May.”

“The order, which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention plans to issue later this week, says it is taking the step because ‘there is no longer a serious danger’ that migrants would introduce or spread Covid-19 inside immigration detention facilities,” the outlet added.

The CDC is delaying the implementation of the order until the end of May to allow the Department of Homeland Security to prepare for an expected surge in illegal immigration across the southern border this spring.

“Border officials have expressed concern that, without the rapid-turnback policy, they will quickly be overwhelmed by migrants, leading to dangerous overcrowding in border facilities and releases of people into the U.S. who would normally be jailed or deported,” The Wall Street Journal reported.

The end of Title 42 follows a pattern of Biden administration policies that weaken border security. The pattern began shortly after President Biden took office, when he placed restrictions on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that hindered their ability to carry out deporations and caused the agency to be “functionally abolished,” according to a report from The Washington Post.

The Washington Post reported, “ICE under President Biden is an agency on probation. The new administration has rejected calls from some Democrats to eliminate the agency entirely, but Biden has placed ICE deportation officers on a leash so tight that some say their work is being functionally abolished.”
