The Biden Administration has transferred nearly 2,000 immigrants who were recently held in the state of Texas to San Diego, California, to be expelled over the border with Tijuana in recent weeks.

The data is revealed amid growing calls for the government to repeal Title 42, a rule implemented by the Donald Trump Administration that allows border authorities to expel foreigners due to the coronavirus health emergency.

Moran also described the approach to addressing the situation at the border: "We are addressing the reasons why people come. This is really important. If you only focus on our border, we will not be addressing why people come here. The The president has a plan and is working with the vice president on it. "

The data underscores the challenge facing the Administration as officials strive to establish emergency spaces to house migrant children, many of whom have been held in poor condition.
