Rights advocates on Tuesday expressed disappointment and frustration with a 5-4 U.S. Supreme Court order to keep the Title 42 policy used to swiftly expel migrants in place until justices hear arguments for the case in February.
New York Immigration Coalition executive director Murad Awawdeh. “For years, Title 42 has proven to be a horrifying distortion of American values, existing as a front for xenophobia and racism.”
“As Title 42 continues to be shuttled through the courts, it has resulted in untold pain and lives lost for those who are simply seeking freedom and safety in the United States,” he continued. “This is morally and ethically unacceptable, and the Supreme Court should be ashamed that they continue to sustain such an unsparing policy.
“With over a third of a billion people in humanitarian need globally and over 100 million people displaced, the guardrails designed to protect people from humanitarian crises are quickly eroding and the continued undermining of safe, legal pathways to refuge such as the asylum process is not helping,”“The U.S.
Julio Rank Wright, IRC’s regional vice president for Latin America, added that “ending restrictive border measures is essential, but it is also important that the international community increases funding and humanitarian resources for countries of origin and those along the routes that asylum-seekers follow to ensure a protection response that is robust enough to meet the moment.”
