Migrants Brace for Uncertainty as U.S. Election Looms

The Biden administration is preparing for a potential surge in migrant crossings at the U.S. border, anticipating that President-elect Donald Trump's immigration policies may prompt more people to attempt entry before he takes office. Concerns have been raised within the Department of Homeland Security about handling a possible increase in migrants, with discussions focusing on detention capacity and rapid deportation processes. Meanwhile, misinformation and urgency are spreading among migrants via WhatsApp, with smugglers potentially exploiting fears of stricter border controls under Trump.
