A Democrat member of Congress has demanded that President Joe Biden and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas work with Republicans to find a bipartisan solution on immigration as Title 42 nears an end.

In her May 8 letter (pdf) to the Department of Homeland Security head, Rep. Sharice Davids (D-Kan.) warned that the anticipated influx of unlawful border-crossers after Title 42 ends on May 11 could exacerbate an existing “humanitarian and refugee crisis” if nothing is done to mitigate it.
