What is Title 42 and how has it curbed migration?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:47:07 GMT

This week marks the end of coronavirus restrictions on asylum that have allowed the U.S. to quickly expel migrants at the southern border for the last three years.

The end of Title 42's use has raised questions about what will happen with migration at the U.S.-Mexico border. The Biden administration is preparing for an increase in migrants.A look at what Title 42 is and why it matters: HOW DID IT START?In March 2020, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued an order limiting migration, saying it was necessary to reduce the spread of COVID-19.

SF Giants not giving up on slumping David Villar, but third base is no longer his job

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:47:07 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — The Giants aren’t giving up on David Villar, but for now, third base is no longer his job.Villar was on the bench again on Wednesday as he continues to sit against most right-handed pitchers. It’s somewhat of a surprise given the Giants were using Villar as the three-hole hitter during the first week of the season and expected him to be their everyday third baseman.“Unless you just signed a fresh multi-year contract, there’s always competition for playing time,” manager Gabe Kapler said. “We were going to give him every opportunity to hold onto that third base job, but things happen.”The good news is that Villar isn’t chasing bad pitches. He’s among the best in baseball at staying in the zone.The bad news is that even while swinging at pitches that are strikes, Villar has been among the worst players at making contact. His contact rate of 63% is fourth-worst among 224 players with at least 90 plate appearances. Overall, he’s hitting .151 with a .570 OPS and fou...
