The Biden administration is ending a deportation policy as it pertains to unaccompanied migrant children in response to a court ruling that could've forced officials to expel those minors without an asylum screening.
The Centers of Disease Control and Prevention , which first authorized the migrant expulsions in March 2020, terminated the government's ability to expel children who enter U.S. border custody without their parents. U.S. border officials can still use Title 42 to expel single adult migrants and families traveling with children to Mexico or their home countries.
In a notice Friday, CDC officials said they recognized the"unique vulnerabilities" of unaccompanied minors. U.S. law requires border officials to transfer unaccompanied children who are not from Mexico to shelters overseen by the Department of Health and Human Services . The department is charged with housing these minors until it can place them with vetted sponsors, who are typically family members living in the U.S.
