Huge crisis at the US-Mexico border: Tens of thousands of migrants entered US territory from Mexico over the past 42 hours, after Title <>, which allowed the immediate deportation of asylum seekers, expired.
The expiration of the regulation and its replacement by a law passed by the Biden administration has caused hundreds of thousands of asylum seekers, concentrated in temporary camps in Mexico, to try to enter the United States in the hope that they will be allowed to remain in the country until their case is heard in immigration court, which could take years.

Migrants from Latin American countries, including Colombia, Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, were seen in large groups crossing the Rio Bravo River or grabbing the separation fence. Mexico sent large police and military forces to the border area in order to prevent casualties as a result of the incursion into the border area.
Angelica, an immigrant who fled Colombia after falling into conflict with one of the country's drug gangs, climbed the border wall hoping to be arrested by immigration authorities, apply for asylum and stay in the United States until her case is heard. "I don't know what's going to happen to me. But I have nothing to lose. I only have hope and dream to stay in the United States. I hope they let me apply for asylum," the migrant told local media in the United States.
Along with the deepening crisis at the border, President Biden has been criticized from both the right and the left for the administration's conduct. Human rights organizations have filed a lawsuit against the new legislation that would allow the continued deportation of asylum seekers who entered illegally and prevent their legal entry into the country.
