Thousands of migrants have rushed to cross the US-Mexico border in the
final hours before the Title 42 public health order expires. The order,
which was implemented in March 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic,
allowed US officials to expel migrants apprehended at the border without
allowing them to seek asylum. The policy has been criticized by human
rights groups and the Biden administration has announced that it will phase
out the order. Many migrants have been waiting for months in Mexico for the
opportunity to cross the border and seek asylum in the US. The rush to
cross the border before the policy expires has caused tensions between the
US and Mexico, with the latter accusing the US of violating the sovereignty
of its territory.
