Title 42 expiration leads to migrant influx and child death in US custody.

An unaccompanied child migrant died in US custody just days before Title 42, the pandemic-era policy that prevented individuals seeking asylum from entering the US on the pretext that they could pose a health risk, expired on Thursday evening. President Joe Biden enacted new immigration policies which are being harshly criticised for being too restrictive. With the policy’s termination, many are worried border towns will become overwhelmed with migrants.
