                        END TITLE 42 EXPULSIONS

  (Mrs. CHERFILUS-McCORMICK asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. CHERFILUS-McCORMICK. I rise today, Madam Speaker, to urge the 
Biden administration to end title 42 and allow Haitian migrants to 
request U.S. humanitarian refuge before an asylum officer or an 
immigration judge in compliance with the Immigration and Nationality 
Act. As of yesterday, we saw more than 150 Haitian migrants land on our 
shores in Florida seeking asylum. For the last 6 months, we have seen 
more and more Haitian families risk their lives to come to our borders 
by sea or by foot.
  The United States continues to use title 42, which has been said to 
be a violation of title 42 by the Federal appeals court as of Friday, 
which they said they can't stomach seeing people being deported without 
due process.
  So, I rise today to ask for the administration to no longer use title 
42 and to allow the Haitian immigrants to actually have due process and 
be able to articulate their need for critical fear.
  I welcome the ruling by the Federal court of appeals this past 
Friday, which states that the Biden administration may not expel 
migrants.
