The Department of Homeland Security is 'encouraged' by lower migrant numbers after the end of Title 42 -- while warning against drawing conclusions for the weeks ahead.
says it is"encouraged" by lower migrant numbers in the wake of the end of the Title 42 public health order, which it says is showing that its border measures are working -- although officials are urging caution about drawing conclusions.
That represents a decrease of 56% in the four days preceding the end of the public health order -- which allowed for the rapid expulsion of migrants at the southern border due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Border Patrol had encountered over 10,000 migrants a day in the days leading up to the order’s termination.
