Criticism of Biden and more arrests on the southern border

Criticism of Biden and more arrests on the southern border

Meanwhile, figures arrested in border Local media warned that Mexico in March was the highest in a month in two decades.

According to official data, the US authorities arrested about 210,000 immigrants who tried to cross the dividing line from the south in the third month of the year.

Nearly half of those unregistered have been expelled from the country under Title 42 of the Code of Federal Regulations, which Trump invoked in 2020 as the health emergency caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Biden has promised to rescind a critical policy that has already sparked protests between Republican and Democratic lawmakers and caused a rift with influential senators, who are seeking to publicly distance themselves from the resolution.

The Hill reports that Democrat Gary Peters, a Michigan senator, has raised his concerns in particular, including with Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mallorcas.

Peters, who chairs the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, cautioned that he wants to give the administration time to detail a plan to offset Trump’s lifting of the policy.

“Unless we have a well-thought-out plan, I think it’s something that should be reviewed and possibly delayed. I will postpone judgment on it until I give the administration a chance to fully explain what it is,” Peters told reporters.

Hill noted that his comments come at a time when many Democratic senators have been among the most critical of Biden’s order to repeal Address 42.

Republicans, who plan to make immigration an offensive line ahead of the November midterm elections, see the decision as an opportunity to hit the Democratic candidates.

The newspaper predicted that Senators Mark Kelly (Democrat of Arizona), Raphael Warnock (Georgia), Catherine Cortez Masto (Nevada) and Maggie Hassan (New Hampshire), who will be on the ballot in the upcoming elections, opposed reversing the rule. .

Right now, the administration doesn’t have a plan and it will be one crisis on top of another, Kelly told reporters during a recent visit to the border.

Title 42 allowed Trump to expel immigrants quickly without giving them the opportunity to apply for asylum.

Due to the decline in the incidence of Covid-19 in the country, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has ordered the end of Title 42 with its entry into force on May 23.
