More Than 99% Of Illegals Who Sought Title 42 Exception Approved

Migrants gather at a crossing into El Paso, Texas.
  • The overwhelming majority of requests made by migrants for an exception to the Title 42 public health order using the recently-expanded CBP One app have been accepted, with 99% of migrants being found to have met the criteria — just as the app continues to face scrutiny from both the left and the right.
  • The Biden administration expanded the use of the CBP One app in January to allow for migrants seeking a humanitarian exception to Title 42 — the COVID-era public health order that allows for the rapid expulsion of migrants at the southern border due to the pandemic.
  • It allows migrants to upload information, including a photo, and schedule an appointment at a port of entry to pursue the exception to the order, which is due to end next month. The administration says it is a key part of promoting a safe, orderly and humane process at the border and discourages illegal immigration between the ports.
