Need to Know

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Justice for Immigrants Members,
Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP)
On February 11, 2021, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced [[link removed]]
that it would begin phase one of "a program to restore safe and orderly processing
at the southwest border," starting with those who had been enrolled in MPP and have
been forced to "remain in Mexico." This program began [[link removed]]
on February 19, 2021.
This program is evolving over time and remains subject to change. The U.S. and Mexican
governments are collaborating on this effort and are receiving support from the
United Nations, the Red Cross, and UNICEF.
To learn more about program, please view this FAQ from USCCB/MRS, CLINIC, and Catholic
Charities, available in both English and Spanish:

of the Justice for Immigrants website.
Title 42
While the Biden Administration has begun to address the impact of MPP, it has not
undertaken any action related to the use of Title 42 in response to COVID-19. Title
42 has been cited by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as authority
for preventing the introduction of certain migrants, as well as expelling them without
due process (which is distinct from deportation). The CDC's most recent iteration
of this order [[link removed]]
was released on October 13, 2020 and applies to those seeking asylum.
To learn more about the use of Title 42 in the context of immigration at the U.S.-Mexico
border, please view this FAQ from USCCB/MRS, available in both English and Spanish:

Although Title 42 remains in effect, the Biden Administration has announced that
it will not be used against unaccompanied children. There is ongoing litigation
related to the use of Title 42 on unaccompanied children in a case called P.J.E.S.
v. Pekoske (formally P.J.E.S. v. Wolf). For more about this case, please view our
backgrounder [[link removed]].
In solidarity,
