Border Policy Changes Expected as Pandemic Restrictions Ease.
The Biden administration is set to lift the emergency health rule known as Title 42, which has prevented hundreds of thousands of migrants from entering the United States, on Thursday. Officials are bracing for a new immigration surge that could inflame political tensions and strain resources across the southern border. Border agents, state and local officials, and even President Biden’s top aides in Washington are all preparing for the arrival of tens of thousands of migrants in the coming days. The impact of the increase in migrant crossings has reached beyond the border, with mayors in New York, Washington D.C., and elsewhere saying the influx has strained their resources.
