U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Tuesday defended how the Biden administration is continuing to use a Trump-era policy to expel illegal immigrants.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced last year it was using Title 42, a public health authority, to order the expulsion of illegal aliens due to concerns of COVID-19 transmission during the pandemic.
