Title 42 Invoked: Mass Expulsions Begin
The Trump CDC invokes Title 42 of the U.S. Code to authorize the mass expulsion of migrants at the border without processing asylum claims, citing COVID-19 public health concerns. Unlike formal ICE removals, Title 42 expulsions do not count in official removal statistics. Hundreds of thousands are expelled under Title 42 over the next three years.
