TL;DR Summary

The House of Representatives passed a border security and immigration bill just hours before the Trump-era immigration order, Title 42, expired at midnight. The bill, which includes increasing penalties for visa overstays and bolstering the number of Border Patrol agents, is expected to die in the Democrat-controlled Senate, and the White House has issued a veto threat. The Biden administration has instead revealed a sweeping version of border restrictions that it said would "humanely manage the border" when Title 42 lifts.
