TL;DR Summary

The pandemic-era health rule, Title 42, which allowed the immediate expulsion of migrants, will end this week. The Biden administration expects illegal crossings to increase, putting additional strain on an already overtaxed system. Border officials will now have to resort to the usual laws for handling illegal border crossings, which takes longer and allows migrants to ask for asylum. This prolonged administrative processing will lead to migrants staying in holding facilities longer, and officials hope that more migrants will be punished for crossing the border multiple times, leading to fewer illegal crossings.
