Mixed Signals at the US-Mexico Border: Video Shows Soldier Allowing Migrants onto Private Property While Weekend Remains Quiet

A video shows a US soldier opening a gate to let a group of border crossers onto private property in Texas, before watching as a bus pulls up to take them away. The Texas National Guard denied the soldier was one of its troops, instead saying it was a Title 10 soldier from the Missouri Army National Guard under orders from the federal government and working with the Border Patrol. The video sparked outrage online, with officials saying the soldier was "under orders" from the federal government.

Title 42 expiration brings uncertainty and chaos to U.S.-Mexico border.

The Biden administration plans to revert to an even earlier foundation of immigration policy when the Trump-era Title 42 authority runs out this week. For many of the migrants who have crossed the border and hope to make asylum claims, they will face increased hurdles – and face potential increased penalties if the government determines their claims aren't legitimate. With Title 42 gone, the new watchword will be Title 8 of the Immigration and Nationality Act. The law was enacted in 1952 and its provisions have guided border enforcement for decades.
