Quick Glance: Migrant Rush Expected Near US-Mexico Wall as COVID Ban Expires
  • This week, hundreds of migrants have gathered in Tijuana, a border city near the sprawling wall that divides Mexico from the United States.

  • The COVID-19 policy, known as Title 42, which blocked people crossing from seeking asylum, will expire at midnight on May 11, prompting a rush of migrants to the border. The migrants are waiting under black plastic or makeshift tents to cross into the U.S.

  • According to activists, queues of migrants have already formed in the city of Tijuana, which borders San Diego, California. They hope to position themselves ahead of a potential rush in asylum applications after May 11.
