Democrats in Congress are joining Republicans to battle the Biden administration’s plan to end a Trump-era policy of turning away migrants at the border.

To date, nine Senate Democrats and a prominent congressman from a Texas border district have urged President Joe Biden not to end the pandemic health policy Title 42, as promised on May 23. Under the policy, at the recommendation of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, border authorities have turned away the majority of people who sought asylum at ports of entry or crossed the border illegally since March 2020.
