At the start of the month, the Biden administration announced that on May 23, they will be ending Title 42, the Trump-era public health rule that has been used to expel migrants out of the United States since the start of the pandemic.

Since it was first implemented, immigration advocates have been pushing for an end to the policy, which blocks most migrants from seeking asylum. And even establishment Democrats like Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer have called on the Biden administration to terminate Title 42. But more conservative Democrats like Arizona Senators Kyrsten Sinema and Mark Kelly have partnered with Republicans to create legislation that would keep Title 42 in place.

The Takeaway hears from advocates Abraham Paulos, Deputy Director of Communications and Policy of the Black Alliance for Just Immigration (BAJI), and Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, Senior Policy Counsel at the American Immigration Council, about how their organizations are reacting to the end of Title 42. And we also speak with Camilo Montoya-Galvez, immigration reporter for CBS News, about the politics of ending Title 42.
