The Department of Homeland Security is extending the requirement for all "Noncitizen non-LPRs" arriving at legal points of entry, including ferry terminals, to show proof of full vaccination against COVID-19, according to a rule issued by the agency on Thursday.
Though travelers entering the U.S. through legal ports of entry will continue to be forced to show proof of vaccination, no such mandate applies to the record number of illegal immigrants the Biden administration is processing at the southern border.
The DHS announcement extends Title 19 authority to continue enforcing vaccine mandates for noncitizen visitors.
"Under the temporary restrictions, DHS will allow the processing for entry into the United States of only those noncitizen non-LPRs who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and can provide proof of being fully vaccinated against COVID-19 upon request at arrival," reads the rule.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement continues to "Apply CDC guidance through its Pandemic Response Requirements," under which "ICE cannot mandate individuals in detention consent to be vaccinated," according to the agency.
"While ICE cannot mandate individuals in detention consent to be vaccinated, all detention facilities are responsible for ensuring their ICE detainees are offered the COVID vaccine in accordance with state priorities and guidance," according to ICE's Pandemic Response Requirements.
"A detainee's vaccine status, including whether they have received a booster, must be identified during intake." Noncitizens traveling to the U.S. via air are required to have shown proof of vaccination status prior to boarding international flights.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
