The expiration of a pivotal immigration law that allows US authorities to immediately expel illegal arrivals has led to a mad rush across the border.

The law – which was invoked by the Trump administration in March 2020 – allows for US authorities to easily and immediately expel illegal arrivals in an attempt to curb the spread of COVID-19.

A stand-off ensued along the US/Mexico border as immigrants attempt to navigate their way across without being turned away. Prior to Title 42, immigrants were able to cross the border illegally and claim asylum before being accepted into the US.
