Washington: A huge group of hundreds of migrants have illegally entered the US-Mexico border in the city of El Paso, Texas. More than 2,600 people were able to cross the border in the El Paso sector in 24 hours (Fri-Sat). Before crossing the border, Mexican police drove about 20 buses full of migrants from Mexico City to Ciudad Juarez and dropped them off at several NGOs. The migrants then reached the Rio Bravo River with the help of NGOs and illegally reached El Paso.
The border is crossed when the order known as Title 42 is about to expire. This order was brought to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The order allows officials to rapidly deport US asylum-seekers and detained migrants to Mexico or other countries. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said on Monday, “The team is working really hard to manage the Title 42 termination. We are taking such a step and implementing a process that is systematic and humane.”
