Biden’s embrace of Trump-era border policy frustrates Democrats

The Biden administration’s continued practice of expelling migrants at the border has reignited a lawsuit and left Democratic lawmakers confused and advocates frustrated as the White House increasingly adopts the Trump-era policy.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) this week said negotiations have reached an impasse after it previously hit pause on legal efforts to overturn Title 42, a policy that allows border officials to quickly expel migrants for public health reasons, preventing them from seeking asylum. The lawsuit will now proceed in federal court.
