NILC Statement on Biden Administration’s Planned Expansion of Title 42 Expulsions

WASHINGTON — Marielena Hincapié, executive director of the National Immigration Law Center, issued the following statement in response to reports that the Biden administration is aiming to expand the use of Title 42 expulsions:

“Title 42 epitomizes our country’s failings to welcome those seeking safety with dignity and humanity. That the Biden administration would attempt to expand the use of this deadly program after previously ending it directly contradicts the values to which this country aspires.

“Rather than building and expanding on cruel and inhumane Trump policies, we urge President Biden to lead in finding creative regional solutions. We urge the administration to reverse course on this misguided attempt to double down on failed deterrence approaches that only exacerbate migration challenges. At a time of rising levels of migration across the globe due to war, climate disasters, and gender-based violence, the U.S. must instead embrace its promise to build an equitable and humane 21st century immigration system that meets this moment in history.”
