US and Mexico reach landmark agreement on immigration policies amidst expected migrant surge.

The White House has expressed gratitude to Mexico for its efforts in helping the US handle the expected massive migrant surge at the southern border when the Title 42 public health order ends next week. Mexico has agreed to continue accepting returns of certain nationalities on humanitarian grounds, and both countries have announced joint anti-smuggling operations. The US has also announced plans to welcome up to 100,000 individuals from Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador under an expanded family reunification parole process. The administration has a plan in place to handle the expected surge, including regional cooperation and other measures.
