Pandemic border restrictions under Title 42 ended last night, lifting a policy that had sharply limited access from the border into the United States since March 2020. This policy was instated by former President Trump and his administration at the brink of the Covid-19 pandemic.
1500 active-duty troops were sent to the U.S. border to assist Border Patrol agents as the country anticipates a large volume of migrants attempting to cross the border upon Title 42’s expiration date.

The Biden administration finalized a new rule that severely limits asylum for those who arrive at the U.S.-Mexico border without first applying online or seeking protection from the country they passed through.
Laws pertaining to Title 8 are likely to be re-instated once again, with the Biden administration warning Americans of stricter penalties. What’s the difference? Under Title 8, any individual caught illegally entering the country multiple times could face criminal charges including a possible five-year ban on entry and prosecution.
To discourage migrants from crossing the border illegally, senior administration officials have been working on new strategies including opening 100 regional processing centers around the Western Hemisphere, where migrants can apply for resettlement to the U.S., Canada or Spain.
The U.S. will continue to admit 30,000 migrants a month from Venezuela, Cuba and Haiti as long as they have applied online and have secured a financial sponsor.
According to NPR, as of Wednesday morning, nearly 28,000 migrants were in custody – far above official capacity.
“It’s a lot worse than we thought it was going to be,” Brandon Judd, the head of the Border Patrol union who is also a vocal critic of the Biden administration, told NPR.
Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz mentioned tracking roughly between 60,000 and 65,000 migrants waiting along the border in hopes of crossing to the United States.
