Donald Trump responded to CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins’ statement about him only building 52 miles of new border wall by calling her a “nasty person” and accusing her of spreading false information. Trump falsely claimed that he had completed his border wall project, stating that he had built hundreds of miles of wall.
Trump’s comments came as Title 42, the emergency coronavirus law used to deport migrants, was set to expire. He warned that the end of Title 42 would result in a surge of asylum-seekers crossing the border, referring to it as a “day of infamy.” He also claimed that migrants were sleeping in Central Park due to overcrowding in shelters.
Title 42, originally enacted in 1944 to control the spread of disease, was utilized by the Trump administration in 2020 to deport migrants during the COVID-19 pandemic. President Joe Biden maintained this policy upon taking office. With Title 42 expiring, the focus will shift to Title 8 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which allows asylum-seekers to participate in credible fear interviews. Those who fail the interview may face expedited removal proceedings.
The controversy surrounding border policies and the expiration of Title 42 has been ongoing. Republicans have criticized Biden for halting the border wall project initiated by Trump. Border patrol agents have faced staffing issues, and there are concerns about the influx of migrants waiting to enter the United States.
Following a town hall event, the Trump campaign released a statement claiming that the former president had effectively outlined his vision for the future, including plans to save the economy, secure the border, and address international tensions.
