CDC Set to Terminate Title 42 Order on Migration Protocols

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) late last week announced it is issuing a Public Health Determination and terminating an order issued under Title 42, suspending the right to introduce migrants into the U.S. The termination is set to be implemented on May 23, 2022, enabling the Department of Homeland Security to implement appropriate COVID-19 mitigation protocols.

Recall, the order was put into effect in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky determined that an order suspending the right to introduce migrants into the United States is no longer necessary after considering current public health conditions and increased availability of tools to fight COVID-19.
