REYNOSA, May 24 ― Migrants across northern Mexico voiced frustration and desperation yesterday, after the US government failed to lift a pandemic-era policy that has largely prevented them from seeking asylum in the United States for over two years.

Sanchez was among over a hundred migrants lined up in sweltering heat outside the Senda de Vida shelter in Reynosa, across from McCallen, Texas. Thousands more were already camped inside the facility's grounds. Republicans seeking to win control of Congress in November have blasted his border policies as too lenient, pointing to record high migrant crossings, while some members of his own party have criticised him for failing to end Trump-era restrictions.
