Expiring tomorrow, Title 42 is the pandemic-era policy put in place by the Trump administration that immediately expels migrants without providing asylum hearings.

NBC News has a collection of articles explaining the immigration policy: flipboard.com/@nbcnews/everyth

Well more importantly, and this doesn't get nearly enough coverage, is a section of law with specific requirements for how it can and cannot be applied.

It's not merely up to the discretion of an administration. The president doesn't get to just use it whenever he feels like it, and presidents don't get to go back and forth on the law as they come in to office.

Title 42 is no longer legally available to the president, so it's really been something to hear Republicans demanding that it be kept around, when that goes against the law itself.
