"Texas Governor and US Government Take Measures to Secure Border Ahead of Title 42 Expiration"

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has taken matters into his own hands to secure the US-Mexico border by installing barbed wire across a gap in the border that was previously exposed for migrants seeking entry from Mexico into the United States. The move comes as the Biden administration has failed to deliver congressional funds approved under the Trump administration to bolster border security. Border crossings have escalated in recent weeks and migrants have been gathering by the thousands near different sections of the wall, including in El Paso, as they wait for Title 42 to expire on Thursday.
