Title 42 expiration brings uncertainty to US-Mexico border.

The US will lift Covid-19 border restrictions known as Title 42 on Thursday night, a major shift that has drawn tens of thousands of migrants to the US-Mexico border, straining local communities and intensifying political divisions. The Biden administration is surging personnel and funds to the border while implementing a new regulation that will deny asylum to most migrants who cross illegally. Republicans fault Biden for scrapping restrictive policies implemented by Donald Trump, now his party’s frontrunner to face Biden at the polls next year.
