Summary
The Biden administration will reportedly end its use of Title 42 by late May. The policy effectively acted as a suspension of the legal asylum process, and has been viewed as inhumane by immigration activists.
The BA.2 Omicron subvariant is now the dominant COVID strain in the U.S. This comes as many states begin to close mass vaccination and testing sites that were vital throughout the pandemic. Dr. Céline Gounder, an infectious disease specialist & epidemiologist, joins us to give us her perspective on the matter.
And in headlines: Russian forces are moving away from two Ukrainian cities, Arizona Republican Governor Doug Doucey signed a bill that outlaws abortion after 15 weeks, and Republican Senator Susan Collins said that she plans to vote to confirm Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court.

| 0:00.0 | It's Thursday, March 31st. I'm Gideon Resinc. |
| 0:07.9 | And I'm Priyanka Arabandi and this is what a day reminding you to not to cocaine around |
| 0:12.4 | Madison-Cothorne unless you want him to tell on you. |
| 0:15.6 | Yes, Cothorne recently told a podcast about the cocaine and orgy's that his 70-year-old |
| 0:20.5 | colleagues in DC are apparently obsessed with and if you're not careful, you could be |
| 0:24.1 | his next target. |
| 0:25.1 | Do not do anything illegal or cool while Madison is nearby. |
| 0:39.0 | But first, there is news on a story we covered earlier this week, Title 42. This is a Trump |
| 0:44.7 | era health policy that allowed immigration officials to immediately turn away migrants |
| 0:49.4 | at our border because of the pandemic. |
| 0:52.0 | However, the Biden administration had been clinging onto it. Gideon, what happened yesterday |
| 0:57.0 | with this? |

| 1:00.7 | use of the policy by late May 23rd to be exact. The decision is not final, final, yet |
| 1:07.4 | but the Wall Street Journal reported that the CDC plans to issue an order later this |
| 1:11.0 | week that is going to formalize it. So what we know now is all based on unnamed officials |
| 1:15.6 | and a draft that certain publications like the journal have seen. |
| 1:19.6 | So the delay in the full implementation here is apparently so that the Department of |
| 1:24.5 | Homeland Security can prepare for the possibility of more migrants arriving. |
| 1:28.4 | So this news is a major win for immigration activists who saw Title 42 being used in |
