Texas lawmakers urge Biden to keep COVID border policy
Fox News
A group of Texas congressional lawmakers is urging the Biden administration to keep a Trump-era health policy that allows authorities to turn away migrants to prevent the spread of COVID-19 until illegal crossings at the southern border are brought down to manageable levels.
The order, imposed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in March 2020, allows U.S. Border Patrol and Customs and Border Protection to block migrants who pose a health risk. At the time, the Trump administration said the order was necessary to control the spread of COVID-19 in border facilities.
