In the U.S. House of Representatives, Democrats are asking the Biden administration to justify its use of Title 42, a Trump-era policy which allows the U.S. to expel recently arrived migrants without due process.  

Washington, February 16 (RHC)-- In the U.S. House of Representatives, Democrats are asking the Biden administration to justify its use of Title 42, a Trump-era policy which allows the U.S. to expel recently arrived migrants without due process.  Since 2020, it’s been used to expel more than 1.2 million asylum seekers. 

Thirty-three Democrats signed a letter to CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky demanding an end to the policy, which they affirm is directly responsible for sending thousands of immigrants back to situations where they faced assault, rape and even murder.

In other related news, immigrants from across the United States on walked out of workplaces and schools — and didn’t spend any money — as they marked a Day Without Immigrants.  Rallies took place in New York, Washington, D.C., San Francisco, Houston and dozens of other U.S. cities. 

The Valentine’s Day action was organized by 23-year-old TikTok star Carlos Eduardo Espina to pressure the Biden administration to enact immigration reform.  Espina is an immigrant from Uruguay who came to the U.S. when he was five years old.
