Incoming White House Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt (R) confirmed that Trump's (R) First Executive Orders could include Measures that will Deny many Migrants Asylum. "He will use the power of his pen to deliver on many of the promises he made to the American people on the campaign trail to secure our southern border," Leavitt said on Fox News' Sunday Morning Futures.
"Well, securing the southern border, perhaps looking at Title 42," She added on the Show. "Many of these executive actions are still being considered by our policy teams and also our lawyers."
Title 42 was a Controversial Trump Policy implemented during the Early Stages of the COVID-19 Pandemic, that allowed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to Prohibit the Entry of Individuals into the U.S., if Entry could pose a Risk of introducing a Communicable Disease.
People fleeing Violence or Persecution, were forced to wait in Dangerous conditions in Mexico, or other Countries while being Barred from entering the U.S. This led to significant Humanitarian concerns.
Title 42 refers to a Public Health Law that was originally part of the U.S. Code in the 1940s. The Law, specifically Section 265, Denied many Migrants the ability to seek Asylum, a Right enshrined in U.S. Law and International Treaties.
Its introduction in March 2020, represented a significant shift in Immigration Policy, Limiting Asylum and raising questions about the Intersection of Health Concerns and Immigration Enforcement. Its implementation allowed the First Trump Administration to Reduce the number of Migrants allowed to enter the U.S. for Immigration processing.
Legal battles ensued over the use of Title 42. Opponents argued that the Policy Violated U.S. Immigration Laws and Rights and International Refugee Agreements. Supporters maintained that the Policy was necessary for Public Health and Safety during the Pandemic.
Although the Biden (D) Administration initially sought to Rescind it more than a year earlier, the Policy did Not ultimately End until May 2023, when the Pandemic Public Health Emergency was Officially declared Over.
Nicole Elizabeth Ramos, Director of the "Al Otro Lado Border Rights Project", said in a Statement: "We saw them fight to keep the border closed to refuge under the Trump-era policy, Title 42. We saw them refuse to process refugees at U.S. ports of entry, in violation of federal and international law, instead forcing them to wait in deadly border cities, for months on end, to obtain a processing appointment."
"We saw this administration open and expand open-air detention camps, where refugees are not provided with food, water, shelter, or protection from scorching and freezing temperatures, winds, or heavy rains."
Leavitt previously said: "On day one, President Trump will marshal every lever of power to secure the border, protect their communities, and launch the largest mass deportation operation of illegal immigrant criminals in history."
She told Sunday Morning Futures on December 22nd, that Trump would also "fast-track permits for fracking, for drilling, and to also take executive action to stop some of the transgender insanity that we have seen take over this country."
Trump also Pledged to Conduct the Biggest Deportation Operation in American History. He has repeatedly Vowed that on the First Day of His Administration, He would:
- Halt All Migrant Flights to the U.S.
- Shut Down the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) One Asylum Application App.
- End Catch-and-Release.
- Reinstate the Remain in Mexico Policy.
- Secure the Border.
