Altagracia is one of several migrants CNN spoke to who are racing to reach the US-Mexico border before Trump returns to the White House. “Everyone wants to arrive before [Trump] does,” another migrant, from Cuba, told CNN. Migrant crossings at the US-Mexico border remain at their lowest levels since 2020, according to US Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) data. “It is difficult to say that this decline has mainly to do with a Trump effect,” George Mason University policy and government professor Guadalupe Correa-Cabrera told CNN. Despite their challenges and fears, the migrants CNN spoke to said they intended to reach the border.

President-elect Donald Trump’s "border czar" said Thursday that the use of family detention centers for migrants is “on the table,” raising the possibility that the practice ended by the Biden administration could return as early as next year.

Homan said Thursday that he does not foresee migrant children being separated from their parents on a large scale in Trump's deportation effort. Homan said Thursday that he is in favor of challenging that legal framework, which would complicate using any family detention centers. “We have challenged family detention in the past.

“Because invalidation of the Title 42 Orders will directly harm the States, they now seek to intervene to offer a defense of the Title 42 policy so that its validity can be resolved on the merits, rather than through strategic surrender,” the states said in their filing Monday. Sullivan cited the Administrative Procedures Act in his ruling, and characterized Title 42 as “arbitrary and capricious.” The Biden administration indicated that it won’t oppose Sullivan’s order in a court filing last week, but requested a temporary delay in lifting Title 42. In his order, Sullivan granted the request with “great reluctance.” Title 42 is set to come to an end on Dec. 20, taking effect on midnight Dec. 21. Lee Gelernt of ACLU, lead lawyer for the plaintiffs seeking to lift Title 42, pushed back against the GOP states seeking to keep the rule in place in a statement to NBC News. The Biden administration has faced pushback from both parties for its handling of Title 42.
