30 Stunning Photos Capturing This Week’s Highlights

Increase in Border Crossings Around El Paso, Texas

Authorities indicate a significant increase in border crossings around El Paso, Texas, coinciding with the expected end of Title 42. This policy has been crucial in expelling many migrants from the United States.

High Expectations for Migrant Influx

Last month, a federal ruling mandated the termination of this controversial Trump-era policy. Officials previously forecasted that the conclusion of Title 42 would potentially trigger a surge in migrant activity.

Uncertain Connections

Currently, there seems to be no confirmed correlation between the uptick in crossings and the imminent end of Title 42. Nonetheless, this recent surge has intensified discussions regarding Title 42 and how government authorities plan to react once the policy ceases.
