US Implements New Measures to Address Migrant Surge Ahead of Title 42 End

The US plans to open new migrant processing centers in Colombia and Guatemala to reduce undocumented immigration. The facilities will process thousands of claims a month, with pathways for legal migration expanded. The number of deportations for those ineligible to be in the US will also be doubled or tripled. The processing centers will allow successful applicants to enter the US legally and improve their access to assistance such as refugee resettlement processing and family reunification. Between 5,000 and 6,000 people are expected to be processed a month but this will be scaled up.
