Title 42 restrictions allow government authority to expel migrants under a public health emergency, which was issued by the CDC at the beginning of the COVID pandemic.

HOUSTON, Texas -- Title 42 restrictions, which allow government authority to expel migrants under a public health emergency, could be dissolved by the end of May.

Renata Castro, founder of Castro Legal Group, said when Title 42 restrictions are lifted, there will still be a case-by-case process that those seeking asylum have to go through. Castro said it is likely that due to the change in policy, fewer individuals will make it into the United States."Individuals will still have to be properly vetted," Castro said.

"Now with the Ukrainian crisis, they run the risk of being accused of having a double standard if they do not enforce it for Ukrainians but continue to enforce it for Salvadorians, Hondurans and Haitians," Jones said."and for political reasons, the Biden Administration doesn't want to be seen using healthcare and health service reasons for keeping Ukrainian asylum seekers out of the United States.

"We welcome this change," Espinosa said."Although we know it is not going to be the fix-all to whatever immigration problems there already are, including the backlogs, as well as, it obviously doesn't fix the situations in countries in which folks are migrating from."
