Migrant numbers growing at the southern border hours before Title 42 ends

The Texas National Guard stationed in El Paso says migrants are arriving to the U.S.-Mexico border with high hopes for the end of Title 42 later Thursday.

Storrud said that few things are likely to change in terms of process at his area of the border, where officials have been operating under Title 8 rather than Title 42. Nevertheless, huge numbers of migrants believe otherwise. Mills Hayes joined Fox News in 2022 as a multimedia reporter in Minneapolis.

"A lot of them are still waiting there because they just don't know what's going to happen when Title 42 ends," Storrud told Fox News. "They have been fed a lot of misinformation from social media, from the cartels, from well-meaning people. And they've got so much information that when we tell them about the consequences of Title 8, they simply don't know what to believe. But they do know that they're here now, and they're willing to wait it out, even knowing after we've told them that what they're doing is illegal."
