1000 Migrants Cross Border into El Paso Overnight Ahead of Mayorkas Visit

The crossings come in advance of this month’s expected end to Title 42 migrant removals and a visit to the El Paso area this week by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, as reported by KRQE’s Border Report.

State police in Chihuahua, Mexico, escorted the migrants, hundreds at a time, from the cities of Jiménez to Juárez earlier on Sunday before the mass crossing, El Paso Matters reports. The migrants are reported to have traveled to the U.S. from Nicaragua, Ecuador, and Peru.
