WASHINGTON—The Biden administration plans to end its use of Title 42, a Trump-era pandemic border policy that allows the government to immediately turn away people who are arrested trying to enter the country illegally, as well as those who seek asylum at a border checkpoint, by the end of May, according to a draft of the order reviewed by The Wall Street Journal and officials familiar with the matter.
When Title 42 comes to an end, the government once more will need to detain every migrant it arrests before it can deport them or release them to seek asylum.
