Appearing before the Senate Finance Committee, Tucson Police Chief Chris Magnus praised the utility of Title 42, a sweeping Trump-era public health order that authorizes the rapid summary expulsion of migrants and asylum-seekers without an immigration hearing, and said he would support some expansion of the wall at the southern border.
