News the United States is poised to end a pandemic-related expulsion policy at the U.S.-Mexico border has buoyed hopes across northern Mexico where thousands of migrants - including families stranded in shelters and makeshift camps - have been waiting months for a chance to seek asylum in the United States.
U.S. health officials are set to announce plans this week to terminate the order, known as Title 42, in May, Reuters reported on Wednesday.
More than a million migrants have been sent back so far. Many fearing violence or persecution in their home countries have stayed in Mexico, either trying to cross again or waiting in limbo in dangerous border towns. Enrique Lucero, the municipal director of migrant services in Tijuana, said he estimates there are thousands of migrants in Tijuana - across from San Diego, California. Makeshift camps have also sprung up in Reynosa, Mexico across from McAllen, Texas.
