One year after Title 42, where do things stand?

Last May ABC15 covered the expiration of Title 42 extensively and a year later we’re looking at what has changed and what hasn’t. Title 42 policy allowed the United States to turn away migrants at the border - in the midst of a public health crisis. It expired last year, meaning all migrants are processed under Title 8 code - which generally allows migrants more time to make asylum claims. Last summer we heard from a Valley church offering support to new migrants whose asylum claims were being reviewed who said they saw numbers increase after Title 42 expired.
