Biden administration considering reviving detention of migrant families

Two Biden administration officials say the administration is considering reinstating the policy of detaining migrant families who cross the border illegally. President Biden ended the practice when he took office.

It is one of several options administration officials are mulling as they prepare for the end of Title 42, the public health order that allows border agents to immediately turn away certain migrants who crossed the southern border illegally.

White House and Homeland Security officials have had multiple meetings in recent days to discuss the possibility of reviving the practice ahead of the anticipated expiration of Title 42 in May.

The White House declined to comment.
