Title 42 expiration sparks uncertainty at US-Mexico border.

As Title 42 ends, security officials are preparing for a potential surge of asylum-seekers at the southern border. The return of Title 8 means that individuals will be placed in detention centers as they go through a process called expedited removal, which includes a credible fear interview. The Biden administration has rolled out new measures to discourage migrants from crossing the border illegally and create new legal pathways. The recent spike in new arrivals is already putting a strain on U.S. immigration resources, and officials are anticipating a bottleneck at ports of entry and detention centers that will put a strain on federal, state, and local government resources.
