true, I got the following from the WSJ. Do you think that it is accurate or is it leaving out some parts?
What happens to people after they cross the border?
Single adults are almost all immediately sent back to Mexico under a 1944 public-health law, bypassing the normal arrest process and depriving them of a chance to ask for humanitarian protection. That public-health law, called Title 42, was implemented by then-President
Donald Trumpat the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic last March and has been maintained by President Biden.
Families were also turned back under Title 42, but that has been harder to do since November, when Mexico passed a law banning family detention. Some Mexican states have since refused to take back most families with young children, so the administration has been releasing families into the U.S. instead.
In some cases, families that are refused by Mexican officials in south Texas are flown to west Texas or even California, where other Mexican officials have agreed to take them back.
The Trump administration stopped applying the Title 42 policy to unaccompanied minors in November after a federal court ruled the practice illegal. Although that decision was later overturned, the Biden administration decided to continue allowing minors into the country, where they live in shelters run by the Department of Health and Human Services until the government can find them suitable adult guardians. The government is working to build a temporary HHS facility at the site of a massive Border Patrol tent complex in Texas’s Rio Grande Valley to more quickly transfer children and help ease crowding there.
Released families and unaccompanied children are allowed to live in the U.S. for the duration of their asylum cases, which can take years to complete. Most Central American migrants ultimately lose their cases, according to Justice Department data.
