The Biden administration announced Friday it will be lifting Title 42 restrictions as soon as next month, a move that was expected to trigger an onslaught of migrants at the southern border. 'After considering current public health conditions and an increased availability of tools to fight (such as highly effective vaccines and therapeutics), the Director has determined that an Order suspending the right to introduce migrants into the United States is no longer necessary,' the Centers for Disease Control said in a statement. The order was first implemented by the Trump administration in March 2020 and has been used to expel most migrants at the border. In February, 55 percent of people who arrived at the border were turned away due to the order.
