Resuming Expulsions Under CDC's Title 42 Authority
The Trump administration plans to resume expulsions under the CDC's Title 42 authority to combat COVID-19 and reduce illegal entries, focusing on diseases like tuberculosis and measles. The policy allows for swift removal of migrants entering the US illegally without asylum application. Current outbreaks of varicella (chickenpox) and measles on both sides of the Texas-Mexico border are a key concern.
