The policy has prevented most migrants from seeking humanitarian protections at the U.S. border
The Biden administration has drafted a plan to end by late May a controversial border policy that has prevented most migrants from seeking humanitarian protections at the U.S. border, according to people familiar with the matter.
The decision, not yet final, would give officials time to prepare at the border, the Associated PressTitle 42 applies to adults traveling alone, and parents traveling with their children. Last year, the Biden administration exempted children traveling without a parent from being expelled under the policy.
Without Title 42 in place, migrants would once again be able to seek asylum in the U.S. Before the policy was enacted, asylum seekers were screened to determine whether they could stay in the U.S. while their cases moved forward. But officials worry that returning to prepandemic practices would strain resources at the border as high numbers of migrants attempt to enter without authorization.
