Thousands of migrants pack shelters on Mexico-US border as Title 42 — a US policy used more than 2.5 million times to expel migrants since March 2020 — nears end
In Reynosa, about 3,000 migrants live in tents pitched on concrete slabs and rough gravel inside the walls of Senda de Vida 2.
Nicaraguans became the second-largest nationality at the border among single adults after Mexicans, surpassing Cubans. Republican-led states have asked a federal appeals court to keep Title 42 in place. A decision could come down to the wire. For the many fleeing violence in Haiti, Venezuela, Central America and beyond, such shelters offer at least some safety from the cartels that control passage through the Rio Grande and prey on migrants.
The "Remain in Mexico" policy was used to force about 70,000 asylum-seekers to wait in Mexico for US hearings after being introduced in January 2019.
