Title 42 expiration leaves migrants uncertain of future.
A group of senators, including Republican North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis and independent Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, have introduced a bill that would allow U.S. border agents to continue expelling migrants without court hearings even after the Title 42 border expulsion policy ends on May 11. The proposal would require the Department of Homeland Security to swiftly expel migrants to Mexico "without further hearing or review" and would allow the U.S. to expel migrants to their home countries or a third country willing to receive them. The bill would prohibit U.S. officials from expelling migrants to countries where they could face torture or persecution because of their race, religion, nationality, political views, or membership in a social group.
