The U.S. cannot exempt migrant children from border deportation policy
March 8, 2022
On Friday, in Texas, a federal judge ruled against the Biden administration’s decision to exempt unaccompanied children from the pandemic-era health rule, Title 42. District Court Judge Mark Pittman barred the Biden administration from exempting children traveling without their parents under Title 42. Instituted in March 2020, Title 42 allows U.S. immigration authorities to expel migrants to Mexico or their home country without screening them for asylum or allowing them to see a judge. Before this ruling, the Biden administration did not expel unaccompanied children under this policy and instead would send them to shelters.
