Psaki Asked About Biden’s Plan for 18,000 Migrants Crossing Per Day When Title 42 Expires

A bipartisan bill to extend Title 42, co-sponsored by five Senate Democrats, is the latest sign of opposition from moderate Democratic opposition to the Biden administration’s move to end the public health order amid fears it could lead to a surge in migrants at the border.

The order was implemented in March 2020 by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and has been used by both the Trump and Biden administration’s to quickly expel a majority of migrants at the border.
