The public health order known as Title 42 — based on a decades-old and once obscure law — has captured attention recently as it’s set to expire next month.

The American Civil Liberties Union and other groups plan to file a preliminary injunction to stop the continued use of the Title 42 public health law that has allowed border agents to swiftly remove tens of thousands of migrants and asylum-seekers.

President Biden will give remarks Monday to the nation’s largest Latino civil rights group. He’s under pressure to make good on his promises to fix the immigration system.

Biden signed an executive order in February telling his administration to rewrite the asylum rules. But that process will take months, if not years.

Growing numbers of migrant families are making the heart-wrenching decision to separate as they try to get their children into America.

Joe Biden pledged on the campaign trail to restore asylum protections for domestic violence survivors from other countries. But 100 days into his presidency, that hasn’t happened.

Officials are trying to shrink the timetable for many asylum cases from “years to months.” That could benefit people with legitimate asylum claims and discourage some unauthorized migration.
