According to The Hill press, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced it will be expanding its COVID-19 vaccination policy at the southern border. The agency will be requiring some migrants who are taken into custody to receive the vaccine. Migrants who do not have proof of vaccination and are not expelled under the public health order, Title 42, will be required to get vaccinated in seven areas including San Diego, El Paso, and the Rio Grande Valley. The Times reported that those who refuse vaccination will be placed in deportation proceedings. Asylum-seekers who refuse to get vaccinated will be released with a monitoring device.
