US and Mexico Strike Migration Deal Ahead of Title 42 Deadline

The US and Mexico have reached a migration deal to address the "humanitarian situation caused by unprecedented migration flows" as Title 42 restrictions end. Mexican officials confirmed they will continue to accept migrants from at least four countries who are sent by the US back across the border. The move is expected to give the Biden administration a tough enforcement tool to not only expel migrants but also act as a deterrent for more to make the journey north. The new agreement will continue the effort beyond the emergency authorization that came from Title 42.

Biden Administration Deploys 1,500 Troops to Southern Border Ahead of Expected Migrant Surge.

The Department of Defense is sending 1,500 additional active-duty troops to the US-Mexico border for a temporary three-month period ahead of an expected surge of migrants with the end of Title 42 restrictions on May 11. They will join 2,500 National Guard members already there on an active-duty status assisting Border Patrol agents with ground-based detection and monitoring. The new troops will also help with data entry and warehouse support, but will not have a direct role in interacting with migrants at the border.
