Changes seem imminent on the last major Trump-era restrictions on asylum at the border.
FORT WORTH, Texas — The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will issue an order this week about how migrant children are treated under a public health order that has prevented people from seeking asylum at the nation's borders, a Justice Department attorney said Tuesday.
Stoltz told a federal judge that the CDC will release “a new order on the subject of the children” by the end of the week. It will revisethat exempts children who cross the border alone from the ban on asylum. The government attorney said the CDC order this week will largely render Texas' arguments moot. He did not elaborate, and the CDC said it could not immediately provide additional information.
Higher COVID-19 vaccination rates have brought increasing pressure on the Biden administration to lift the public health order that was always intended as a temporary measure during the pandemic. While the administration has exempted unaccompanied children, some families and nearly all adults traveling alone are expelled from the United States — often to Mexico within two hours — without a chance to seek asylum.
