Mayorkas urges migrants to avoid illegal entry as Title 42 remains in effect.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas made a final plea for migrants not to attempt to cross into the U.S. illegally, telling them they are being "deceived" by smugglers. Mayorkas spoke in Brownsville, Texas alongside Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz just days before the Title 42 order will expire on Thursday. With the order ending, there are widespread fears of a new border surge as migrants flood to the border, believing they are more likely to be released into the U.S. The administration has been ramping up its preparations, including deployment of 1,500 troops to the southern border this week.
