As the deadline for the pandemic-era Title 42 expulsion policy looms, some Texas lawmakers, on both sides of the aisle, are calling on President Joe Biden to extend it.
“The extraordinarily high numbers of migrants arriving daily in El Paso has created an unprecedented strain on our community and requires significantly more federal resources as well as a broader, whole-of-government response,” said Escobar. “Our local governments have been strained as they are asked to perform functions outside their normal operations, NGOs are doing the best they can, and our CBP personnel have been stressed beyond anything they have ever experienced to date.
, Escobar said Mayorkas “assured her that El Paso’s funding requests are being favorably and expeditiously processed.” The CDC tried to bring a close to the Title 42 order in April 2022, but Judge Robert Summerhays blocked the attempt. However, the case was appealed to the Fifth Circuit. Judge Emmet Sullivan on Nov. 15 moved forward with its termination in a separate order.
