Congress: Do Not Extend Title 42

Title 42, a brutal policy initiated under Trump, strips people at the border of the right to seek asylum by expelling them to Mexico or their country of origin without the opportunity to seek protection under U.S. laws. After a recent review of the policy, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found the policy is not necessary to protect public health. and issued an order ending the policy. A federal judge also recognized the grave harms caused by Title 42 and ordered its end.

These orders to end Title 42 are critical victories in our fight to restore the human right to seek asylum. But now, anti-immigrant lawmakers are attempting to override CDC and the legal ruling by passing legislation in Congress that mandates Title 42’s continuation. Tell Congress to oppose any attempt to extend the brutal, anti-immigrant Title 42 policy.

Your Message
Restore the Right to Seek Asylum and End Title 42

I'm writing to you about Title 42, a harmful and ineffective policy that both the CDC and a federal judge have ordered to be ended, both finding that the policy is not necessary to protect public health. I'm urging you to oppose any attempt to override CDC and the courts’ legal ruling through legislation mandating Title 42’s continuation.

The CDC and federal court was clear: Title 42 causes grave harm, is not necessary to protect public health, and should end. I urge you not to play politics with people’s lives: Don’t interfere with the overdue end of the brutal, anti-immigrant Title 42 policy.

Sincerely,

[First Name] [Last Name]
