Roosevelt in 1944, Title 42 was\u00a0designed to prevent the introduction of contagious diseases in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>The policy was issued by the Trump administration in 2020 at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4702815\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2022\/08\/31\/DSC03723-1200x800.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy size-large wp-image-4702815\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/themes\/eet\/images\/white.png\" data-src=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2022\/08\/31\/DSC03723-1200x800.jpg\" alt=\"Epoch Times Photo\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\"     style=\"display:none\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-4702815\" src=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2022\/08\/31\/DSC03723-1200x800.jpg\" alt=\"Epoch Times Photo\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><\/noscript><\/figcaption><\/a> The Roosevelt Easement, a 60-foot-wide stretch of federal land spanning three U.S. border states, runs parallel to the border wall in Douglas, Ariz., on Aug. 24, 2o22. (Allan Stein\/The Epoch Times)<\/figure>\n<p>Migrants processed under the policy are not permitted to request asylum in the United States and are removed from the country.<\/p>\n<p>On paper, Title 42 covers the Canada and Mexico borders and migrants of all nationalities. It has mostly been used along the southern border to remove illegal immigrants from Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador from the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Almost 2.4 million illegal immigrants were stopped by U.S. agents along the southern border in fiscal year 2022, which ended on Sept. 30.<\/p>\n<p>Federal statistics indicate that more than 1 million of the encounters led to the immigrants being removed from the country under Title 42.<\/p>\n<p>Once Title 42 is lifted, the number of migrants that Border Patrol agents must process will \u201clikely be double or greater,\u201d according to a U.S. Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General report released in September.<\/p>\n<p>It is not clear what the Biden administration plans to do when Title 42 is terminated on Dec. 21.<\/p>\n<p>When Biden took office, one of his first actions was ending the \u201cRemain in Mexico\u201d policy implemented under Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Under that law, asylum-seekers were required to remain in Mexico while their asylum claims were processed. Figures showed that the policy discouraged false asylum claims and decreased the number of illegal immigrants.<\/p>\n<p>Blas Nunez Neto is the acting assistant DHS secretary for border and immigration policy. Last month, in a call with Latin American reporters, he said the United States would move to prosecute migrants who attempt to evade Border Patrol agents and deport people who illegally enter the country under expedited removal, a process that includes a five-year ban from the United States.<\/p>\n<p>When Title 42 expires, DHS will transition from Title 42 to Title 8 processing.<\/p>\n<p>Title 8 is a federal law that allows expulsions if illegal immigrants don\u2019t qualify for asylum.<\/p>\n<p>In fiscal year 2022, the U.S. Border Patrol removed 1.1 million under Title 8 compared to around 1 million illegal immigrants under Title 42.<\/p>\n<h2>Termination of Title 42<\/h2>\n<p>The Dec. 21 termination date was determined by Judge Emmet Sullivan of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, who voided Title 42 on Nov. 15. Sullivan was appointed by former President Bill Clinton.<\/p>\n<p>In his report, Sullivan said that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) did not properly explain the reasons for approving the policy instead of using what he termed as less drastic ways to address the virus.<\/p>\n<p>The CDC also \u201cfailed to consider the harm to migrants subject to expulsion,\u201d Sullivan wrote, referencing reports claiming that migrants could be persecuted in Mexico and other countries after their expulsion from the United States.<\/p>\n<p>On Nov. 16, Sullivan gave federal immigration officials five weeks to end Title 42.<\/p>\n<p>Sullivan\u2019s decision stemmed from legal action filed by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which argued that Title 42 endangers migrants and violates asylum law.<\/p>\n<p>Even if their arrival is illegal, migrants who cross the border onto U.S. soil can request asylum, which provides humanitarian protection.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4857135\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2022\/11\/11\/GettyImages-1394281891-1200x800.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy size-large wp-image-4857135\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/themes\/eet\/images\/white.png\" data-src=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2022\/11\/11\/GettyImages-1394281891-1200x800.jpg\" alt=\"Epoch Times Photo\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-4857135\" src=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2022\/11\/11\/GettyImages-1394281891-1200x800.jpg\" alt=\"Epoch Times Photo\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><\/noscript><\/figcaption><\/a> Rep. Jesus \u201cChuy\u201d Garcia (D-Ill.) speaks during a news conference on Title 42 outside the U.S. Capitol in Washington on April 28, 2022. (Chip Somodevilla\/Getty Images)<\/figure>\n<p>Hours after Sullivan announced his ruling, Justice Department lawyers asked the federal judge to delay the decision for five weeks on the grounds that abruptly eliminating Title 42 would create operational issues and not offer enough time to coordinate an \u201corderly transition\u201d to regular immigration processing.<\/p>\n<p>Referring to the Department of Homeland Security, Justice Department lawyers wrote, \u201cThis transition period is critical to ensuring that DHS can continue to carry out its mission to secure the Nation\u2019s borders and to conduct its border operations in an orderly fashion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sullivan granted the request \u201cwith great reluctance\u201d and said the order voiding Title 42 would become effective on Dec. 21 at midnight.<\/p>\n<p>On Dec. 7, the Biden administration announced it would appeal the court ruling, believing that the CDC would issue new orders regulating migration.<\/p>\n<p>The appeal contradicts the Biden administration\u2019s previous support of lifting the policy.<\/p>\n<h2>Lawsuit to Keep Title 42<\/h2>\n<p>After taking office in January 2021, the Biden administration maintained the Trump-enacted Title 42 for more than a year until announcing it would gradually end the expulsions, claiming they were no longer needed because of improved conditions with the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>A group of 24 Republican-led states responded by filing a lawsuit to keep Title 42 in place. The group said that stopping the policy would result in \u201ca surge of border crossings and that this surge will result in an increase in illegal immigrants residing in the states.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The higher number of immigrants would increase the amount of money required to spend on education, health care, and law enforcement, officials from many of the states argued.<\/p>\n<p>In May, U.S. District Court Judge Robert Summerhays temporarily blocked the Biden administration from voiding Title 42. Summerhays was appointed by Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Sullivan\u2019s ruling on Nov. 15 superseded the May decision.<\/p>\n<p>In July, the Biden administration appealed that ruling but kept relying on Title 42 as a border management policy.<\/p>\n<p>It expanded Title 42 guidelines to include Venezuelan migrants in October in an attempt to deter the wave of Venezuelan migration to the southern border.<\/p>\n<p>That decision also approved what the Biden administration calls a humanitarian parole plan that allows up to 24,000 Venezuelans a legal pathway to the United States.<\/p>\n<p>In a July deposition, Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz was asked if the Biden administration signaling that it won\u2019t enforce border laws will result in \u201cexponential\u201d increases of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/t-illegal-immigration\">illegal immigration<\/a>. He responded, \u201cI do think it will increase, yeah.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ortiz was asked if the southern border is \u201ccurrently in crisis,\u201d and if there is an \u201cunprecedented\u201d number of people illegally entering the United States. He said \u201cyes\u201d to both questions.<\/p>\n<h2>\u2018The Border Is Secure\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>Ortiz\u2019s comments contradicted what Homeland Security Secretary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/t-alejandro-mayorkas\">Alejandro Mayorkas<\/a> said a week before at the Aspen Security Forum in Colorado.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook, the border is secure,\u201d Mayorkas said. \u201cWe are working to make the border more secure. That has been a historic challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Nov. 17, Mayorkas told legislators that the department will explore ways to prevent Venezuelan migrants from entering the United States through the southern border if Title 42 ends.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. James Lankford (R\u2013Okla.) asked Mayorkas about the administration\u2019s strategy to deal with Title 42\u2019s conclusion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re still waiting to try to figure out what happens now and how many are about to cross the border. What\u2019s the plan for dealing with this massive migration, illegal immigration coming now post-Title 42?\u201d Lankford said at the Nov. 17 Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4863915\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2022\/11\/15\/biggs-1200x850.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy size-large wp-image-4863915\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/themes\/eet\/images\/white.png\" data-src=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2022\/11\/15\/biggs-1200x850.jpg\" alt=\"Epoch Times Photo\" width=\"640\" height=\"453\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-4863915\" src=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2022\/11\/15\/biggs-1200x850.jpg\" alt=\"Epoch Times Photo\" width=\"640\" height=\"453\" \/><\/noscript><\/figcaption><\/a> U.S. Rep.

The Republican-led states that brought the lawsuit could ask the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals and the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene if Sullivan denies the motion.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this week, Rep.

(Manuel Balce Ceneta\/AP Photo)<\/figure>\n<p>In April, they introduced legislation intended to require the Biden administration to have a comprehensive plan ready before rescinding Title 42.<\/p>\n<p>On Nov. 28, Sinema and Kelly joined Sens. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) and Jon Tester (D-Mont.) in sending a letter to Mayorkas expressing their concerns about the removal of Title 42.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile Title 42 expulsion totals reflect repeat attempts to enter the United States, a sharp end to Title 42 would nonetheless significantly increase the number of migrants apprehended along the Southwest Border under Title 8,\u201d the senators wrote.<\/p>\n<p>On Dec. 5, Sinema and Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) agreed on an immigration reform draft framework that would include a continuation of Title 42.<\/p>\n<p>The proposal features an increase in resources to expedite the intake of asylum seekers with new processing centers, asylum officers, and judges.<\/p>\n<p>The framework also includes increased resources to expedite the removal of migrants who don\u2019t qualify for asylum and more funding for border officers.<\/p>\n<p>If processing centers, which would house migrants, are opened and running, Title 42 would end after at least one year, according to the proposal. The bipartisan effort also contains a plan for citizenship for 2 million undocumented young people who arrived in the United States as children and are known as \u201cDreamers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Multiple Republicans oppose the plan. McCarthy has said any form of amnesty is a \u201cnon-starter\u201d in the next Congress.<\/p>\n<div class=\"author_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"one_author_block round\">\n<div class=\"top_row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/author-jeff-louderback\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2022\/12\/06\/WEB_JeffLouderback.jpg\" alt=\"Jeff Louderback\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Follow<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Jeff Louderback covers the White House for The Epoch Times.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the Donald Trump administration-enacted Title 42 restriction set to end on Dec. 21, U.S. officials are bracing for a massive surge of illegal immigrants crossing over the southern border.When<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1899013,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[547],"tags":[5458,3811,7688,7686,4207,4727,7687,3638,4326,3819,4395,7689],"class_list":["post-1771426","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-bongino-report","tag-bongino","tag-border","tag-brace","tag-grapple","tag-illegal","tag-immigrants","tag-nears","tag-officials","tag-policy","tag-report","tag-surge","tag-title"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1771426","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1771426"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1771426\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1899013"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1771426"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1771426"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1771426"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
