COVID-19 Asylum Limits At U.S.-Mexico Border To End May 23

The policy will end on paper April 1, but it will not take effect until May 23, to allow border officials time to prepare.

At the U.S.-Mexico border, huge change is in the air.

The Biden administration is planning to phase out a pandemic-related asylum restriction, a move that could dramatically increase what is already historic levels of migration to the U.S. 

"There will be an influx of people to the border. And so, we are doing a lot of work to plan for that contingency," said White House Communications Director Kate Bedingfield.
