President Joe Biden’s administration plans to end Title 42, the emergency public health rule that has permitted the United States to turn away migrants because of the pandemic, in May, just before the number of illegal border crossings typically increases in the warmer months.

The latest extension of Title 42, implemented by former President Donald Trump, was due to expire on March 31. Biden told reporters earlier Wednesday that “we’ll have a decision on that soon” when asked whether the rule would be retained again.
