Border authorities are concerned the crisis at the U.S. southern border is going to get worse this spring due to the likely withdrawal of Title 42, a policy enacted during the Trump administration that enables border officials to expel illegal immigrants under a public health emergency.
Raul Ortiz, the head of the U.S. Border Patrol, told CNN that officials expect as many as 8,000 illegal immigrants on average daily, noting that this staggering number “will probably become the norm over the next 30 to 45 days.”
