The first group of American troops is being deployed to the southern border on Wednesday as the Biden administration prepares for the expiration of Title 42, a pandemic-era measure, later this week. The active duty troops are being sent to El Paso, Texas, the site of the largest surge of migrants crossing illegally anywhere along the border in the current wave, a U.S. official said on a call with reporters Tuesday night.
U.S. officials are scrambling to manage a new surge of migrants as the pandemic policy Title 42 expires at 11:59 p.m. Thursday, which has fueled a rush of asylum seekers heading toward and across the southern border in recent weeks. Thousands of migrants have illegally crossed into border communities including El Paso, Texas, and thousands more are in cities on the northern edge of Mexico waiting to cross. They have been driven by rumors that the end of Title 42, which is expiring along with the Covid-19 public health emergency, will make it easier for migrants to enter and stay in the U.S.
