Title 42 expiration brings new rules and reality check to US immigration policy.

The end of Title 42, a pandemic-era policy that severely limited immigration to the US, did not result in the anticipated influx of migrants along the southern border. However, there is still confusion and fear among asylum seekers about what the future holds. Nonprofit groups and city officials are preparing for a surge in migrant arrivals, while new asylum rules and lawsuits challenging those rules have been enacted. Ultimately, it is up to Congress to enact immigration reform.
