May 14, 2023, 9:49 AMDepartment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas delivers remarks on"planning and operations" ahead of the lifting of the Title 42 order, during a press briefing at U.S. Customs and Border Protection headquarters in Washington, D.C., May 10, 2023.
He went on, "What our rule provides is that an individual must access those lawful pathways that we have made available to them. If they have not, then they must have sought relief in one of the countries through which they have traveled and been denied. And if they haven't done either, it's not a ban on asylum, but they have a higher threshold of proof that they have to meet. That is a presumption of ineligibility that can be overcome.
The ending of the rule, which coincided with the ending of the national emergency around COVID-19, is expected to produce surges of attempted border crossings.
