Outside of food and water, the number one thing migrants are asking for is help charging their phones. KUSI's JasonAustell was nonstop charging phones this morning as he witnessed the chaotic scene. More info:
SAN DIEGO – With the pandemic-era Title 42 policy to block immigrants at the southern border set to expire at 11:59 p.m. Thursday evening, officials around the county are asking for federal aid, even as the White House rolls out new rules.
“We are finalizing a new rule to encourage individuals to use available lawful, safe and orderly pathways to enter the United States,” Mayorkas said Wednesday. “The rule presumes that those who do not use lawful pathways to enter the United States are ineligible for asylum.” Last week, President Joe Biden sent an additional 1,500 troops to the border in preparation for the end of the policy. Around 16,000 migrants are waiting in Tijuana for the border restrictions to be lifted.
KUSI’s Jason Austell and Allie Wagner reported live from the US-Mexico border on Good Morning San Diego to show the chaos that U.S. Border Patrol and law enforcement agencies are forced to deal with.
