Texas Republican Rep. Dan Crenshaw criticized Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra for backing some COVID-19 measures while also supporting the end of the Title 42 pandemic policy for turning away migrants at the southern border.

Crenshaw slammed Becerra for embracing federal safety measures such as mask mandates on planes and in child care centers as key to mitigating COVID-19 risk while also supporting the goal of lifting Title 42. It was implemented in March 2020 and mandated that U.S. border officials turn away migrants immediately, with the aim of preventing the spread of the coronavirus.
