Migrant Crossings At Southern Border Increase As Title 42 Policy Expires

CIUDAD JUAREZ, MEXICO - MAY 10: Immigrants ride atop a freight train while in route to the U.S.-Mexico border on May 10, 2023 near Ciudad Juarez. Many migrants make the cheap yet dangerous ride north through Mexico on a network of freight trains, known as la Bestia (the Beast). A surge of immigrants is expected with the end of the U.S. government's Covid-era Title 42 policy, which for the past three years has allowed for the quick expulsion of irregular migrants entering the country.
