Title 42 expiration leads to overwhelming surge of migrants at U.S.-Mexico border.

The US has seen a record influx of migrants across the US-Mexico border as pandemic-era measures are lifted. Illegal border crossings have topped 10,000 per day this week, the highest levels ever, as the Title 42 border policy was set to expire at 11:59 p.m. Thursday. With Border Patrol stations and processing centers maxed out, officials authorized the release of migrants without court dates at locations where facilities exceeded 125 percent of their holding capacity or other thresholds were surpassed. The move was a step toward the type of mass releases Biden officials have wanted to avoid.
