From the Rio Grande Valley in Texas to San Diego and Tijuana, many migrants gathered along some sections of the U.S.-Mexico border were left questioning when or whether they would cross into the United States to seek asylum once pandemic-related restrictions known as Title 42 ended.

After spending the previous night in a hotel, they were eager to get to the border -- "to get in and go with the help of God and baby Jesus," Guevara said.
