From Church World Service (http://www.churchworldservice.org):
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is expected to complete another 60 day assessment of the Title 42 order on November 30th. Public health experts, including senior CDC experts, have consistently concluded that the policy lacks any public health rationale and have noted that the U.S. has the tools it needs to safely process asylum seekers. At the same time, the administration is set to restart another Trump-era policy, the “Remain in Mexico” policy, formally known as the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP). This policy has also led to thousands of kidnappings, assaults, and other abuses against asylum seekers forced to wait months in Mexico ahead of their immigration court hearings in the U.S.
It is vital that we speak out against these harmful policies and urge the administration to welcome people with dignity by immediately ending the use of the illegal and immoral Title 42 policy, do everything in their power to halt the resumption of MPP, and fully restore asylum protections.
