Think about all the “gotaways.”
According to a Fox News report, Border Patrol Agents are apprehending record numbers of migrants ahead of Title 42’s expiration on Thursday; they’re logging more than 10,ooo a day.
There are 28,500 migrants in custody ahead of Title 42’s expiration.
From Fox News:
Sources say agents apprehended at least 10,300 migrants who crossed illegally on Tuesday in addition to the over 10,000 encountered on Monday. There are currently 28,500 migrants in custody.
Fox is told that the numbers are expected to keep increasing ahead of the end of Title 42 order on Thursday. Officials have been preparing for months for an expected surge in migration across the border once the order ends. The order has been used since March 2020 by both the Trump and Biden administration to expel hundreds of thousands of migrants quickly due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In March, nearly half of all migrant encounters ended in a Title 42 expulsion.
Officials and lawmakers have feared that migrants, believing they are more likely to be admitted to the U.S. once the order ends, will head to the border in numbers not even seen during the more than two-year migrant crisis so far. Officials had previously painted a worst-case scenario of up to 14,000 encounters a day.
Meanwhile, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is warning migrants about the dangers of working with smugglers to cross into the U.S.
“To the individuals themselves, who are thinking of migrating: Do not believe the smugglers,” DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said on Friday. “Because you are being deceived, and you are risking your lives and your life savings only to meet a consequence that you do not expect at our southern border.”
