Top State Department adviser rips Biden's "illegal" and "inhumane" deportation policy on his way out

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : A federal judge last month blocked the administration from using the policy to deport migrant families seeking asylum but an appellate court last week issued a stay of that ruling, allowing the policy to continue while it is litigated.
43% : "Yet our actions and approaches regarding Afghan refugees stand in stark contrast to the continuing use of Title 42 to rebuff the pleas of thousands of Haitians and myriad others arriving at the Southern Border who are fleeing violence, persecution, or torture."
39% : Harold Koh, a legal adviser at the State Department who also served in the Obama administration, said the Biden administration's continued use of the unprecedented Trump-era Title 42 public health policy, which permits rapid deportation of undocumented immigrants over COVID concerns is "not worthy of this Administration that I so strongly support," in a memo published by Politico.
