MEXICO MIGRATION CRISIS

Sadness takes over migrants heading to the US in Mexico's border city

Ciudad Juárez, May 28 (EFE).- A week after a federal judge in the United States blocked President Joe Biden from ending a regulation that keeps out asylum-seekers on health grounds due to Covid-19, disappointment and uncertainty reign among the thousands of migrants whose pursuit of the "American Dream" remains on hold in this gritty metropolis across the Rio Grande from El Paso, Texas.

In 2020, then-President Donald Trump decided to use Title 42, a provision of the 1944 Public Health Services Law, as a mechanism for the summary denial of asylum claims.

Biden, who took office in January 2021, had intended to end the practice on May 23, but the court ruling derailed that plan. (Camera: RAÚL MORALES).
