The Biden administration shared some figures Monday that indicate there were fewer than expected encounters between migrants and law enforcement at the Southwest border over the weekend during the first few days after the pandemic-era Title 42 migration policy was lifted.
The shift back to Section 8 was expected to bring a surge of migrants to the border. To try to stem the flow, the Biden administration expanded legal pathways and stressed that migrants who attempted to go around the system would face severe consequences — swift deportation, a five-year ban if they had no legal basis to enter the U.S. and criminal prosecution if they attempted to cross the border again.
Nuñez-Neto said thousands more migrants are currently being held in U.S. Customs and Border Protection facilities and moving through an expedited removal process. Nuñez-Neto said last week’s border surge was within the parameters the government had prepared for. Meanwhile, he said the number of migrants in government custody has fallen since last week but remains relatively high.
