The White House is facing questions about potential plans to reinstate some of the Trump-era immigration policies.
President Biden is reportedly considering lowering the number of allowable asylum claims and restoring the pandemic-era Title 42 border expulsion policy, which may upset Democrats and align him more closely with his predecessor.

Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre emphasized the need for bipartisan compromise and referred back to Biden’s initial immigration reform bill.
“I can’t negotiate from here,” Jean-Pierre said.
“They’re having conversations right now. I don’t want to get ahead of that. I want to let folks have those conversations.”
The administration has been criticized for its approach and reluctance to openly discuss immigration, with concerns raised about potential alignment with Trump-backed proposals.
