The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have taken steps to maintain the Title 42 immigration policy.
This controversial immigration policy, implemented during Donald Trump's administration at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, allows the expulsion from the United States of migrants found at the border with Mexico for public health reasons.
The extension of this policy was based on an assessment of the pandemic's impact on the United States and its borders, taking into account the increase in cases and hospitalizations due to the Omicron variant. Meanwhile, immigration activists have asked the White House to suspend the order, arguing that it lacks a health basis and endangers immigrants.
