Title 42 expiration sparks concerns and emergency measures in Texas border cities.

Thousands of migrants are rushing to the US-Mexico border ahead of the expiry of the Trump-era policy known as Title 42, which allowed for their swift removal. About 10,000 migrants have been crossing the border each day, nearly double the average seen just two months ago. Local authorities and humanitarian organisations are bracing for what some fear may be a difficult-to-manage influx of migrants. The lifting of Title 42 is likely to be a contentious political issue in the US, and the number of migrants at the US border spiked sharply since President Joe Biden took office in January 2021.
