IJDH, with The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights and 204 civil and human rights organizations, called on Members of Congress to support the Biden administration’s plan to end the Title 42 policy, under which Haitian and other migrants have been expelled in violation of their rights, on May 23.
Our letter concludes: “The misuse of Title 42 is one of the most urgent civil and human rights issues of our day, and we urge you to stand with immigrants and welcome all with dignity. All Members of Congress should reject legislative efforts to extend Title 42 or continue tying this wholesale policy failure to the essential public health funding needed to end the pandemic. Congress must take a step in the right direction to establish a humane asylum system.”
