Migrant Crossings At Southern Border Increase As Title 42 Policy Expires

SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA - MAY 13: Immigrants gather at a makeshift camp stranded amongst border walls between the U.S. and Mexico on May 13, 2023 as seen from San Diego, California. Some of the immigrants at the open-air camp have been waiting for days in limbo for a chance to plead for asylum in the U.S. while local volunteer groups are providing food and other necessities. The U.S. government's Covid-era Title 42 policy, which for the past three years had allowed for the quick expulsion of irregular migrants entering the country, expired on the evening of May 11.
