(CNN)Tensions remain very high within the Biden administration ahead of the expected repeal of a Trump-era pandemic restriction next month and the potential surge of migrants at the border that's expected to follow, according to a source familiar with ongoing discussions.
Since the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's recent announcement that the restriction -- known as Title 42 -- would be revoked, the White House has been getting an earful from lawmakers on Capitol Hill, including some who are expressing complete panic about the ramifications of that decision, the person said.
At this point, administration officials are juggling multiple balls: Trying to figure out how to get a handle on the congressional revolt, watching to see what legislative actions related to Title 42 emerge and trying to figure out how to be best prepared for what might happen at the border next month.
Asked about ongoing discussions at the White House about Title 42, spokesman Vedant Patel said in part that the administration is hard at work planning and preparing for the lifting of Title 42 and that the CDC that has the authority to determine when that should happen.
