"Biden administration deploys 1,500 troops to southern border amid migrant surge and Title 42 deadline"

The Biden administration plans to send 1,500 more active-duty troops to the southern border to assist agents ahead of an expected influx of migrants seeking asylum. The troops will not have a law enforcement role but will perform monitoring and administrative tasks, freeing up Border Patrol officials to process migrant claims. The move comes as Title 42, the public-health law that permits the U.S. to deny asylum and migrations claims for public health reasons, is set to expire on May 11.
