The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Monday extended a controversial Trump-era policy that expels migrants to prevent the spread of COVID.
Why it matters: The Biden administration has faced backlash for retaining the Title 42 policy, which allows border officials to turn back migrant families to Mexico without the chance for asylum. The ACLU on Monday asked a court to end the administration’s use of Title 42.
What they’re saying: “Title 42 is not an immigration authority, but a public health authority, and its continued use is dictated by CDC and governed by the CDC’s analysis of public health factors,” the CDC said in a statement.
The other side: “The administration said it just needed a little bit of time to repair the damage done to the asylum system by the Trump administration,” the ACLU’s lead attorney on the case Lee Gelernt told Axios on Monday. “It’s now been seven months and there is no end in sight to the Title 42 policy.”
Worth noting: Mexican officials have resisted the continuation of Title 42, while two prominent advocacy groups have stopped working with the Biden administration on humanitarian exceptions over concerns about the policy, AP reports.

Halt came after activists and staffers called homeland security secretary’s office but it is unclear how long it will last
The US has suspended deportation flights to Haiti, in the latest sign the Biden administration is attempting to assert control over the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, Ice, according to community activists and congressional sources.
The reported halt to Haitian flights came after a night of frantic calls from community activists and congressional staffers to the office of the newly confirmed secretary of homeland security, Alejandro Mayorkas. It is unclear how long the suspension will last, and Ice did not reply to a request for comment on Friday morning.
