The Biden administration on Friday started the implementation of a significant policy shift at the US-Mexico border. Starting May 13, Title 42, a COVID-era order that had allowed the swift expulsion of many migrants expired, and new asylum restrictions took effect. As per Reuters, adding to the confusion and uncertainty, were several last-minute actions. These legal challenges have added to the questions about how Biden's new strategy will play out.

Title 42 has expired, prompting fear in migrants seeking asylum and in agents preparing for a sea of people looking to enter the US at the border.

The Biden administration will send 1,500 troops to the U.S.-Mexico border ahead of an expected migrant surge following the end of pandemic-era restrictions, according to four administration officials.

The leader of the Department of Homeland Security told Congress on Wednesday that the Biden administration is "preparing" for a potential influx of immigrants at the border in mid-May when the pandemic-era policy Title 42 expires.

Republican U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina claimed most Americans want to keep the COVID-19-related immigration policy known as Title 42. The Biden administration recently said it plans to end the policy, which was enacted by former President Trump. But a fact-checker says polls on the matter could be better.
