KARLA MARTINEZ: How much longer? That's the question that more than 100 organizations are asking President Biden right now; How much longer are they going to keep on expelling migrants in an accelerated manner under Title 42? This is a policy activated by the Trump administration during the pandemic, which prevents asylum seekers from staying on the grounds of avoiding coronavirus infections. Edwin Pitti tells us live from Washington, DC, whether the President would be willing to lift this measure.
PITTI: The White House answered the letter saying that they are currently continuing with this figure because they are following the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, but that currently the focus remains on processing asylum cases of vulnerable groups such as unaccompanied children and people who had been waiting months in Mexico for their asylum case to be resolved.
