US progressive Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said she did not think that Republican attempts to include an amendment about immigration would stymie a Covid relief bill.
Republican Senators objected to the Biden administration rescinding Title 42, a Trump-era policy that largely blocked asylum seekers from the US-Mexico border during the Covid-19 pandemic. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said there would need to be an amendment on Title 42 in order for legislation to move forward.
