Since Title 42, the pandemic-era border policy, was lifted two weeks ago, there has been a lot of confusion at the U.S.-Mexico border, the PBS NewsHour’s Amna Nawaz reported from Matamoros, Mexico on Thursday.
The White House implemented a new border policy that rejects asylum seekers who did not first seek protection in a country that they traveled through to get to the U.S., or first apply for asylum online. But, the administration’s new rules are being challenged in court.
For more on what this means for people seeking asylum and waiting at the border, follow NewsHour’s coverage on the subject.
