The Immigration Action Team (IAT) continues working with the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee (UUSC) on a joint campaign to advocate for:

• Ending expulsions carried out under Title 42 section 265 of U.S. public health law; and
• Terminating the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), which has been used to send some undocumented people back to Mexico to wait while their asylum cases are considered. The Biden administration terminated the protocols, but they were reinstated in August 2021 after a Texas federal court ruling. The ruling is being appealed.

The first part of the campaign is a letter to President Biden asking that fair access to asylum be restored as soon as possible and that the use of the Title 42 and MPP policies be ended. Please review and join the sign-on letter urging the Biden Administration to take swift action, then spread the word about the letter! (Use our mini media toolkit.)

The campaign’s second part is a Write Here! Write Now! (WHWN) letter-writing campaign, urging members of Congress to press the Biden administration to end both Title 42 expulsions and forcing asylum seekers to wait in Mexico under MPP.  Use our WHWN online letter writing platform [LINK] or review the related Write Here! Write Now! handout [LINK].

The third part of the campaign will be meetings this month with Congressional offices urging an end to these policies. IAT will again be inviting constituents from the appropriate states to join in these meetings.
