COVID-19 asylum limits at US-Mexico border to end May 23

The policy, known as the Title 42 authority, is named for a 1944 public health law to prevent communicable disease. The termination of the policy takes effect May 23 to give border officials time to prepare.

The government said it was already making plans to erect tents and take other steps to prepare for an expected influx of migrants. The policy went into effect under President Donald Trump in March 2020. Since then, migrants trying to enter the US have been expelled more than 1.7 million times.

An immediate end to the asylum ban could have sparked a rush on under-staffed border and immigration facilities. Homeland Security officials said this week that about 7,100 migrants were coming daily, compared with an average of about 5,900 a day in February.
