Republicans are raising the alarm on President Joe Biden’s decision to end Title 42, a Trump-era rule that significantly restricted immigration during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Because of the pandemic, President Donald Trump established public health restrictions that allowed Border Patrol agents to turn illegal immigrants away at the border and force them to return to Mexico.
