Coalition Letter Urges Immediate End to Title 42 Expulsions and Other Deterrence Strategies Against Asylum Seekers

American Immigration Council and American Immigration Lawyers Association

The American Immigration Council and American Immigration Lawyers Association joined a coalition of 105 organizations in expressing alarm over reports that the Biden administration may continue the harmful and unnecessary Title 42 expulsion policy for an additional two months. The letter also urged an end to other punitive measures against asylum seekers, including electronic ankle monitors, expedited removal, and expansive detention. The coalition instead proposes community-based case management services to support asylum seekers.
