"Migrant Surge: Mexico Halts Railway Service as Arrests Soar and Troops Deploy"
The southern border is experiencing a surge in unlawful crossings, with nearly 9,000 people a day attempting to enter the United States. Despite new border barriers and efforts by the Biden administration to manage the influx, migrants from various countries are driven by desperation and are not waiting for legal entry. This surge is creating a humanitarian and political crisis, overwhelming processing facilities and straining resources in border states and major American cities. While some migrants are being sent back or deported, others file asylum claims and are allowed to remain in the US while their cases are processed. The Biden administration's efforts to address the situation, such as expanding appointment availability through a mobile app, are unable to keep up with the demand.
