Riverside County officials are preparing for the influx of migrants expected to come across the border following the end of the Covid-era restriction, Title 42, at 8:59 p.m. Thursday.
The county is the only non-border county in the country that receives migrant drop offs from Customs and Border Patrol, with CBP centers in cities including Murrieta, Indio and Blythe.
The increase in immigration is expected to occur once Title 42 ends because the emergency measure allowed border officials to quickly return people to other countries during the Covid-19 pandemic. Since the measure is now ending, immigrants will have a much longer process to go through before possible deportation.on who can receive asylum after entering the country illegally. The measure will deny asylum to migrants who show up at the U.S.
Receiving migrants is nothing new for Riverside County. In 2014, protesters arrived outside the Murrieta CBP center in an attempt to stop buses full of migrants from dropping them off. Counterprotesters arrived at the scene as well at the time.
