Hey, it's Latif from Radio Lab. Our goal with each episode is to make you think,

how did I live this long and not know that? Radio Lab, adventures on the edge of what we think we know.

Listen, wherever you get podcasts.

This is the takeaway. I'm Melissa Harris-Perry.

Last Thursday, Title 42 ended.

The Trump-era immigration policy allowed the U.S. to expel migrants seeking asylum at the border

without having to consider their asylum requests.

The policy was put in place during the height of the COVID pandemic

and was justified by the administration at the time as a public health measure. But with the end of

the National Emergency Declaration of COVID, so too came the end of Title 42. On Sunday, U.S.

Secretary of Homeland Security spoke with CNN.

We have communicated very clearly a vitally important message to the individuals who are

thinking of arriving at our southern border. There is a lawful, safe, and orderly way to

arrive in the United States that is through the pathways that President Biden has expanded in an unprecedented way.

And then there's a consequence if one does not use those lawful pathways.

The Trump administration initiated Title 42.

But President Biden has maintained it for more than two years. This is the

president during a press conference last week. I spent close to an hour with the Mexican

president today. We're doing all we can. But it remains to be seen. It's going to be chaotic for a while.

Joining us now is Faisal Ajubore, who is spokesman for Rieces, a nonprofit group defending the rights of immigrants and refugees.

And also with us, Camillo Montoya Galvez, who is immigration reporter at CBS News.

Fasel, Camillo, thank you both for being here today.
