Today: Biden's "transit ban" likened to Trump-era migrant restrictions, "Grim Reaper" caught on King Charles III's coronation video, and photos of the swastika-tattooed Texas shooter

Is Biden’s New ‘Transit Ban’ on Asylum-Seekers Similar to Trump-Era Policy?

On May 11, 2023, Title 42, a controversial pandemic-related immigration policy implemented in 2020 by then-U.S. President Donald Trump, was set to expire.


In turn, President Joe Biden was set to implement a new set of immigration restrictions that itself was controversial, angering many immigration advocates who likened the new policy to another one enacted under Trump.


Snopes reporter Nur Ibrahim evaluates the claim.
