Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas released a statement on Immigration Enforcement Efforts
As part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s work to prepare for the end of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Title 42 public health Order, which will expire after May 11, 2023, and to return to processing all noncitizens under Title 8 immigration authorities, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Justice have issued a final rule to incentivize the use of lawful pathways.
Secretary Mayorkas provided an update on planning and operations ahead of the lifting of the Title 42 public health Order at a White House Press Briefing.
When the Title 42 public health Order lifted at 11:59 p.m. on May 11, the United States returned to using Title 8 immigration authorities to expeditiously process and remove individuals who arrive at the U.S. border unlawfully.
El Departamento de Seguridad Nacional (DHS) y el Departamento de Estado se centran en soluciones y tienen un plan sólido para gestionar humanamente la frontera a través de la disuasión, la aplicación de la ley y la diplomacia. Con el apoyo del Departamento de Defensa y de múltiples países del Hemisferio Occidental, el DHS y el Departamento de Estado están implementando dicho plan dentro de las limitaciones de un sistema de inmigración descompuesto que el Congreso ha fracasado repetidamente en arreglar, incluso al no actuar sobre la propuesta de reforma migratoria integral del presidente Biden, la legislación bipartidista para proteger a los soñadores (Dreamers) y a los trabajadores agrícolas, o las repetidas solicitudes de recursos adicionales.
