Glenn Grothman and a group of House Republicans sent President Joe Biden a letter Tuesday, calling on him to reverse his administration\u2019s decision to lift Title 42 and asking for a briefing from government agencies.<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Caller first obtained the letter, which was spearheaded by Grothman and signed by 52 other House Republicans. In the letter, the lawmakers expressed concern about the Biden administration\u2019s decision to end Title 42, a public health <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/05\/05\/joe-biden-customs-and-border-protection-department-of-health-and-human-services-donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">measure<\/a> issued in response to the COVID-19 pandemic that allows the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to rapidly expel migrants on public health grounds.<\/p>\n<p>Along with DHS, the lawmakers also called for a briefing with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), saying revoking Title 42 will put communities across the U.S. at risk. The CDC <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/04\/01\/cdc-title-42-end-may-23-border-crisis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">announced<\/a> Friday that Title 42 will be terminated May 23.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis crisis will make it more difficult for Border Patrol agents to interdict human traffickers, drug traffickers, and other bad actors. Further, as your Administration has embraced catch-and-release, having half a million illegal immigrants flood our border every month and be later released into the interior of the United States will put massive strains on our local communities, including hospitals, that they are unequipped to handle,\u201d the lawmakers wrote in the letter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor the sake of public health, rule of law, and the security of this nation, we urge you to keep Title 42 in place. We also request an in-person Member-level briefing with senior Administration officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and DHS on your Administration\u2019s rationale for ending Title 42 and actions it intends to take to improve border security and deter illegal immigration at our southern border,\u201d they added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ THE LETTER HERE:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View (DAILY CALLER OBTAINED) -- 04-05-22_Letter to President Biden on Title 42_FINAL on Scribd\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/document\/568215380\/DAILY-CALLER-OBTAINED-04-05-22-Letter-to-President-Biden-on-Title-42-FINAL#from_embed\">(DAILY CALLER OBTAINED) \u2014 \u2026<\/a> by <a title=\"View Henry Rodgers&#039;s profile on Scribd\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/user\/527927298\/Henry-Rodgers#from_embed\">Henry Rodgers<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Border agents\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/01\/25\/customs-border-protection-illiegal-immigration-2-million-december\/\">encountered<\/a> a record two million migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border in 2021.
