Global News published this video item, entitled “Title 42 ends: Mayorkas speaks at White House as asylum-seekers gather at US-Mexico border | LIVE” – below is their description.
U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas is expected to join White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre at the daily briefing on Thursday as Title 42 is lifted.
That rule has allowed the government to quickly expel migrants to Mexico, and U.S. officials have warned of difficult days ahead as the program tied to the COVID-19 pandemic expires this week. According to reports, asylum seekers have been showing up at the border in huge numbers in anticipation of this week’s end of the use of the restriction.
On Thursday, the Biden administration will begin denying asylum to migrants who arrive at the U.S.-Mexico border without first applying online or seeking protection in a country they passed through. It marks a fundamental shift in immigration policy as the U.S. readies for the end of a key pandemic restriction.
The rule announced Wednesday is part of new measures meant to crack down on illegal border crossings while creating new legal pathways. Families who cross the border will face curfews and monitoring, such as the head of household having to wear an ankle bracelet as their cases are heard within 30 days.
