HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? MAY 11TH marked the final day of the Title 42 policy. Title 42 prohibited the right to seek asylum at the US-Mexico border, resulting in the displacement of 2.8 million immigrants. Immigrant families (mostly Haitian) are living at the Clarion Hotel in Taunton, MA while they wait for work visas and stable housing.
