Border Patrol agents apprehended more than 10,000 illegal immigrants per day on May 8 and May 9—the highest daily totals on record—as law enforcement and border agents prepared for the expiration of Title 42 on May 11.
Migrants have been flocking to the southern border in recent weeks as the policy neared expiration. Drone footage captured on May 8 by Fox Flight Team showed long lines of migrants camping out just across the U.S. border near El Paso and Brownsville, Texas.
