Border Patrol sees significant decrease in migration after Title 42 expires.
TL;DR Summary
Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas announced that the Border Patrol has seen a 50% decrease in encounters at the southern border since the expiration of Title 42, a pandemic-era policy that allowed the rapid expulsions of asylum-seekers. The Biden administration had prepared for a surge of migrants by allocating more resources to the border, but officials have yet to see a change in migrant levels. Mayorkas denied that the administration's immigration policy is equivalent to former President Trump's and reiterated that it is "not an asylum ban."
