Report: Trump Admin Seeks to Stop Migrants at Border Over Disease Concerns
Breitbart ^ | 23 Feb 2025 | Randy Clark

Reports indicate the Trump administration plans to resume expulsions under the Centers for Disease Control’s Title 42 authority. The measure, first used by the Trump administration to combat COVID-19, allowed immigration officials to summarily expel migrants within minutes of an illegal entry to reduce the spread of the contagion.

According to a CBS News report, internal government documents were reviewed that indicate the Trump administration is planning on reinstating the Public Health Service Act found in Title 42 to reduce the likelihood of introducing diseases like tuberculosis. The measure allows Border Patrol agents and other immigration officials to swiftly remove migrants who enter the United States illegally without allowing them to apply for asylum.

According to a source within Customs and Border Protection, field offices are aware of several measures being explored to increase the removal options available to reduce illegal entries between ports of entry further. “We have heard rumblings from the field level that we are going to see a return to Title 42 expulsions. It makes sense to have that in our toolbox of removal options, but the plan has not been widely disseminated,” a U.S. Customs and Border Protection source told Breitbart Texas.

The source says the plan may focus on current outbreaks of measles and varicella (chickenpox) on both sides of the Texas-Mexico border. In Piedras Negras, Coahuila, the border city across the Rio Grande from Eagle Pass, Texas, a Spanish-language news report described a Varicella outbreak discovered within four public schools in the border city. At least 60 young children tested positive for the contagion, also known as chickenpox.

On Friday, the Texas Department of State Health Services (TDSHS) notified residents of at least 90 measles cases identified in the South Plains near Seminole, Texas.

Why not jab all migrants at the border with all the recommended vaccines and booster at one time and tell them to come back in 30 days.

See what happens.
