The Department of Homeland Security released an official statement, announcing to the public its attempt to conduct damage control as the border crisis continues to worsen under the Biden administration.
On Christmas eve, the department issued a statement laying down its efforts in response to the crisis at the border that continues to rage out of control.
This comes after the Biden administration fights to have Title 42, a Trump-era policy that allows federal authorities to block immigrants from entering the United States, repealed.
The policy which was passed under the Trump administration was meant to illegal immigration in response to the Covid-19 pandemic crisis.

In the statement, it was revealed that “The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) continues to fully enforce our immigration and public health laws at the border. Individuals and families attempting to enter without authorization are being expelled, as required by court order under the Title 42 public health authority, or placed into removal proceedings. As temperatures remain dangerously low all along the border, no one should put their lives in the hands of smugglers, or risk life and limb attempting to cross only to be returned.”
“Regardless of nationality, anyone attempting to enter without authorization is subject to expulsion under Title 42. Those who cannot be expelled pursuant to Title 42 may be placed in expedited removal and anyone ordered removed subject to a bar on entry for 5 years under Title 8,” it added.
“Venezuelans attempting to enter the United States between ports of entry also continue to be returned to Mexico, and will be barred from the Venezuela Migration Enforcement Process announced in October,” the statement continues.
The announcement also comes as illegal immigrants continue to camp out in the streets as a result of DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and President Joe Biden’s open border policies.
Last December 24, US Marine and Town Hall Senior Writer Julio Rosas reported the worsened situation in El Paso.
“The migrant homeless situation on the streets of El Paso has gotten worse as the encampments have grown in size since last week, all the while the status of Title 42 is still up in the air. The temps are expected to drop to the 30’s tonight.” Rosas revealed.
