- On Thursday, the Biden administration announced a sweeping policy to turn away Cubans, Haitians, and Nicaraguans who unlawfully cross the US-Mexico border, a decision that immigrant rights groups criticized as detrimental and cruel.
- "This subversion of human rights and refugee law is a stain on the record of President Biden and his administration that will inflict indelible harm on human lives, human rights, and the refugee protection system globally."
- Instead of establishing measures that exclude individuals seeking shelter, immigrant rights organizations urged Biden to repeal Title 42 outright.
