The White House Prepares For a Trump-Era Border Policy to End Next Month
White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Wednesday said the White House is still planning for a May 23 end to the Trump-era policy that allows for the rapid expulsion of migrants at the border without giving them the chance to seek asylum.
“Right now, we are planning and preparing for the end of Title 42 enforcement on May 23,” Psaki said at a press briefing. “But I would say that there are a range — the president agrees that immigration in our country is broken. It’s a system that is broken.
“There are a range of ideas out there in Congress: Democrats, Republicans, others, some who support a delay of Title 42 implementation, some who strongly oppose it,” she continued. “And there are a range of other ideas of reforming our immigration system. This would all require congressional action. We’re happy to have that conversation with them.”
