Texas Mayors Declare State of Emergency as Border Facilities Reach Capacity.
TL;DR Summary
El Paso, Texas has declared a state of emergency due to overcrowding from an influx of migrants, with concerns that the end of Title 42 protections on May 11 will lead to a spike in arrivals. The Biden administration has prepared a plan to speed up asylum claims and is opening new processing centers in Guatemala and Colombia. However, Senator James Risch warns that lifting Title 42 restrictions would "open the floodgates" to more migration.
