USA to Expel Some Venezuelan Asylum Seekers to Colombia

The Biden administration had already quietly begun returning Venezuelans to Colombia using the contested Trump-era so-called public health policy Title 42, which allows U.S. immigration officials to remove asylum seekers without due process during the pandemic.
