Title 42 Ends, But Border Communities Remain on High Alert.
The end of Title 42, a Covid-related border restriction policy, has brought fewer migrant arrivals than expected, but southern border communities are still on high alert due to overcrowded migrant processing and detention facilities. Federal and local authorities prepared for an influx, but the number of migrants encountered at the US southern border has been lower than projected. However, officials warn that detention facilities could still become dangerously overcrowded. The majority of migrants are fleeing violence, immigrating for economic opportunities, or to reunite with family members. US authorities are now leaning more on Title 8, a decades-old protocol for asylum seekers, which could carry lengthier processing times and more severe consequences for those crossing unlawfully.
