Here in the United States, authorities arrested about 210,000 migrants trying to cross the U.S.-Mexico border during the month of March. That’s the highest monthly arrest total in two decades. Roughly half of the migrants were expelled under the Trump-era Title 42 pandemic rule which blocks people from seeking asylum at the border. President Biden has vowed to lift Title 42 next month, but the decision has prompted an outcry from Republican and some Democratic lawmakers.
Meanwhile, the Department of Homeland Security has granted temporary protected status to Cameroonians living in the United States for the first time.
