Hear Their Stories: Thousands of Migrants Seek Refuge in El Paso Amidst Title 42 Rulings
Title 42 was set to expire on December 21st, when the Supreme Court ruled to keep the policy in place indefinitely on December 27th, citing health concerns. The policy allows the U.S. government to expel asylum seekers under the premise of reducing the spread of COVID.
