A policy that's prevented many refugees from seeking asylum in the U.S. will be lifted in just weeks. For Haitian refugee Francel Celestin, a husband and father, Title 42's removal can't come quickly enough.

Among other steps, Mayorkas said DHS is increasing its capacity to evaluate asylum requests and"quickly remove those who do not qualify for protection," increasing its personnel and resources, redeployed more than 600 law enforcement officers to the border, and are putting in place additional COVID-19 protocols.
