The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Friday confirmed it is using Title 42 to fly illegal immigrants from the U.S.-Mexico border into Mexico’s interior.

Title 42 is the COVID-19-related rule created under the Trump administration that can be invoked to expel single adults and some families who crossed the border illegally, allowing for the rapid deportation of illegal aliens due to the pandemic. The rule was extended last week by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
