TL;DR Summary

Federal agents in El Paso, Texas, handed out flyers to over 1,000 migrants sleeping on the sidewalks, urging them to turn themselves in to immigration authorities ahead of the expiration of Title 42, a Trump-era border restriction policy set to lapse on Thursday. The policy has been controversial, with immigrant rights advocates arguing officials were using public health as a pretext to keep as many migrants out of the country as possible. The expiration of Title 42 could lead to a surge in the number of migrants trying to cross into the US and exacerbate an already challenging humanitarian crisis at the southern border.
