Quick Glance: What Happens to Migrants on their Way to the U.S. after the End of Title 42?
- Despite widespread fears that ending a pandemic-era policy to immediately expel most migrants, even asylum seekers, would set off a stampede from Mexico, the southern U.S. border has been relatively quiet since Friday.

- Some migrants who were processed and released by Border Patrol lack the necessary funds to travel to their intended destination.
- El Paso, which has been one of the most affected border cities in recent months, saw a significant reduction in migrant arrests on Saturday, with only 639 recorded compared to 2,131 on May 10, according to internal data shared with The New York Times.
