Tijuana, May 24 (RHC)-- Asylum seekers trapped in the Mexican border city of Tijuana led a protest Monday denouncing the Biden administration’s use of Title 42 — a Trump-era public health order that’s been used to bar entry to over two million people arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border seeking refugee status. 

Earlier, a federal judge ordered the Biden White House to continue enforcing the policy.  Protesters insist they have a right under international law to claim asylum.

One asylum seeker told reporters: “We’ve been here for almost a year in Tijuana. We’ve been in a shelter for five months, and we’ve been in a rented apartment for five more months, and it has been very difficult.  I hope they give us support and let us enter the United States.  And we hope things there will be different, because here in Tijuana there is also a lot of danger.”
