Fox News footage captures hundreds of migrants crossing into Texas as Title 42’s end approaches

Migrants are already surging in numbers ahead of the expiration of the Title 42 public health order next week, amid fears of a new exacerbated crisis at the border.
That is before the end of Title 42 on May 11. The public health order was implemented in March 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and millions of migrants have been rapidly expelled back to Mexico under the order for public health reasons. In March, 46% of all encounters resulted in a Title 42 expulsion. Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.

But the looming end to the order next week has led to fears of a renewed surge at the border, with prior Department of Homeland Security estimates warning that there could be up to 14,000 migrant encounters a day. The latest footage suggests that may not be an exaggeration.
