SAN DIEGO AND TIJUANA—With tens of thousands of illegal aliens expected to rush the U.S.–Mexico border in San Diego on May 12 after the Biden’s administration’s planned expiration of public health restrictions on immigration, U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents are bracing for chaos.    

Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council, a union representing 18,000 Border Patrol agents and support personnel, told The Epoch Times as many as 13,000 illegal migrants a day are expected to cross with the collapse of Title 42 at 11:59 p.m. on May 11.
