US Implements New Measures to Address Migrant Surge and Border Crisis

The US Border Patrol stations and holding cells are beyond capacity due to a new migration surge, with over 20,000 migrants in custody, more than twice the rated capacity of the agency's detention facilities. The surge is driven by thousands of Venezuelan adults and children crossing the river into Texas in recent days. Officials say illegal crossings are expected to surpass 10,000 per day after May 11, the date the White House is planning to lift the emergency public health restrictions known as Title 42 that have been in place since March 2020.
