00:05The Trump administration policy was enacted amid the COVID-19 pandemic
00:09and allowed the U.S. government to turn away migrants at the border for three years.

00:17And an influx of migrants wanting to enter the country are expected across the U.S.-Mexico border.
00:22In the past, some lawmakers have been critical of President Biden's plan to lift the restriction,
00:28saying the country does not have the adequate legal, court, and housing resources to handle

00:37to enter the country, such as requiring asylum seekers traveling through Latin America and other
00:43countries on their way to the U.S. to apply for asylum in another country before attempting to
