Title 42, the pandemic expulsion power that had kept the border crisis from turning into catastrophe, has now expired, and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas made a final plea to migrants massing in Mexico not to rush the border.
He said the U.S. is “prepared for this transition,” and warned those that do try to sneak in that they now face more serious consequences if they are caught.
He said those who do jump the border now will be presumed to be ineligible to claim asylum, and he said they also face potential criminal prosecution, and can be formally deported. By contrast, in the early days of the Trump administration in 2017 the Border Patrol went entire months without having to arrest that many people.
