Officials are expecting an increase in border crossings due to the end of a policy that was used to expel asylum seekers.
EDnews informs via DW that Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced on Monday the deployment of new forces to the border with Mexico to prevent the entry of migrants.
The move comes as the US prepares to lift on Thursday a controversial policy named Title 42, which was enforced under former President Donald Trump to allow border patrol officers to deport or turn away migrants without accepting their asylum applications.
