| The United States on Friday ended COVID-19 border restrictions that blocked many migrants at the border with Mexico, immediately replacing the so-called Title 42 order with a sweeping new asylum regulation meant to deter illegal crossings.
Advocates argue the new regulation, put in place by President Joe Biden to curb illegal crossings, resembles restrictions issued by former president Donald Trump. The rights groups successfully blocked the Trump rules in court and asked the same California-based judge to block these as well. In El Paso, Texas, hundreds of migrants camped out on downtown streets, trying to figure out where to go next after crossing the border from Juarez, Mexico.
Mr Biden, who campaigned on reversing Mr Trump’s policies, kept Title 42 in place and ultimately expanded it. Even before Title 42 expired, along with the end of the pandemic health emergency, Mr Biden’s administration was grappling with record numbers of migrants at the US-Mexico border, straining US authorities and border cities.
