The US ended a COVID border restriction known as Title 42, which had blocked many migrants at the border with Mexico, while immediately replacing it with sweeping new asylum restrictions meant to deter illegal crossings
Several last-minute court actions added to questions about how President Joe Biden's reworked border strategy will play out, with advocates filing a legal challenge to the new asylum regulation as it was enacted.
Seeking to discourage migrants from traveling to the border, the Mexican government said its national migration institute has ordered its offices not to issue immigration documents or other permits enabling travel within the country, creating another obstacle for migrants. Immigration advocates represented by the American Civil Liberties Union filed a legal challenge against the new asylum bars, claiming they violate U.S. and international laws.the new regulation, put in place by Biden's Democratic administration to curb illegal crossings, resembles restrictions imposed by his Republican predecessor, Donald Trump, that they had successfully blocked in court.
Tens of thousands of migrants this week waded through rivers, climbed walls and embankments onto U.S. territory. Lindsay Toczylowski, director of Immigrant Defenders Law Center, one of the groups suing the Biden administration, said the new asylum policy was "extremely disappointing when people’s lives are in the balance.”
Biden, who campaigned on reversing Trump's policies and is now running for re-election in 2024, kept the order in place.
