Trump Admin Planning to Revive Title 42 Policy to Boot Migrants On Health Grounds: Report; White House Plans to Bring Back Title 42 to Limit Border Crossings, Report Says

Trump admin planning to revive Title 42 policy to boot migrants on health grounds: report

The Trump administration is planning to revive a pandemic-era Title 42 policy to swiftly turn migrants away at the US border on the grounds they could potentially spread diseases like tuberculosis, a new report says.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is preparing to issue the order that would allow border officials to label illegal migrants as public health risks, CBS News reported, citing internal documents.

It wasn’t immediately clear when the measure would be implemented, but the CDC and the Department of Homeland Security are said to have been prepping for the policy change.

The health measure would reinstate the policy put in place by President Trump back in 2020 in a push to boot migrants at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

President Joe Biden kept Title 42 in place when he first took office but later scrapped it when he declared an end to the public health emergency tied to the pandemic in May 2023.

The apparent revival of Title 42 comes as Trump’s widespread crackdown on illegal migrants — a key campaign promise — continues to unfold and Immigration and Customs Enforcement faces increasing pressure from the White House to ramp up migrant arrests and deportations. —>READ MORE HERE

White House plans to bring back Title 42 to limit border crossings, report says:

Donald Trump intends to invoke a public health order that was used to immediately expel asylum-seeking immigrants more than 3 million times throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

Administration officials have argued that the Public Health Service Act under Title 42 of U.S. code allows authorities to block immigrants from entering the country without due process for their asylum claims despite federal immigration laws and international accords.

Title 42 was suspended in May 2023 under Joe Biden, but the president plans to revive the order to swiftly expel immigrants by labelling them public health risks that could spread diseases like tuberculosis, according to internal government documents obtained by CBS News.

The order, through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, would be enforced by border officials to expel immigrants from the U.S.-Mexico border to their home country or other nations willing to accept them, according to CBS News, citing documents reviewed by the network.

The Independent has requested comment from the White House.

Trump’s return to Title 42 enforcement follows a series of sweeping anti-immigration actions, from gutting the asylum process to directing federal law enforcement agencies to prioritize deportations and unilaterally redefining 14th Amendment protections for birthright citizenship.

The president has already ordered border officials to deport immigrants without recognizing a legal right to request asylum, which is protected under federal law and international human rights agreements. Trump claims that he has the authority under 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which allows the president to ban immigrants who are deemed “detrimental” to the country.

Trump also shut down an app created during the Biden administration that allowed immigrants to begin their asylum claims and make appointments with immigration officers before they reached the southern border. —>READ MORE HERE
