US Preps For Increased Migrant Crossings, Border Restrictions Set to End

UNITED STATES – The Biden administration says it is devising a strategy for the possible arrival of tens of thousands more migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border, as COVID-19 restrictions in the U.S. Are anticipated to end next month.

The broader COVID public health emergency is scheduled to terminate on May 11th, undercutting the rationale for the restrictions, known as Title 42.

The administration says it is now scrambling to find potential holding centers, speed up deportations and increase processing of refugees abroad.
