 Drone video from the El Paso, Texas border on May 11 showed hundreds of migrants gathered at the border fence, with some being led through the gates. The United States is already seeing high number of border encounters in certain areas. US Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas reported on Thursday ahead of a COVID-19 immigration restriction called Title 42's Midnight Exploration. US President Joe Biden's administration this week rolled out a new asylum regulation that could deny asylum to most migrants crossing the US-Mexico border illegally. The measure will take effect immediately after Title 42 ends. Migrant families caught crossing the US-Mexico border illegally will generally be deported within 30 days if they fail an initial asylum screening under the new standard, Mayorkas said.
