The Biden administration expelled more than half of the migrants arriving at the US-Mexico border in recent weeks under a Trump-era health order that has been continued by the Biden administration, according to preliminary data reviewed by CNN.
Of the some 103,000 migrants encountered by Customs and Border Protection in the three weeks through March 17, more than 61,000 were expelled under the health authority known as "Title 42." Around 41,800 were allowed to remain in the US. President Joe Biden said Thursday that "the vast majority, the overwhelming majority of people coming to the border and crossing are being sent back" during his first presidential news conference.More Related News
