United States Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz has reported that approximately 4,316 illegal immigrants crossed the U.S. southern border and evaded Border Patrol authorities in the first three days after Title 42 expired on May 11.
On Monday morning, Ortiz tweeted a summary of the Border Patrol’s enforcement activity in the first 72 hours after the end of Title 42—a pandemic-era authority that allowed border officials to turn away and expel migrants from the United States for public health reasons.
