Various of migrants crossing the border and U.S. troopers STORYLINE: Migrants gathered at Matamoros, Mexico on Thursday and crossed the river towards the U.S. border. Migrants hoping to gain entry into the U.S. were rushing over the U.S.-Mexico border in the waning hours before pandemic-related asylum restrictions known as Title 42 were on the brink of expiring, fearing that stricter new policies would make it far more difficult after 11:59 p.m. EDT Thursday. Mexican immigration agents lined a portion of the riverbank and briefly kept migrants from crossing. But as the number of migrants swelled to several dozen they organized and rushed past the outnumbered agents. The migrants, holding children and plastic bags of clothing, quickly waded across the Rio Grande. On the opposite bank, Texas state troopers with rifles stood behind loops of concertina wire. The migrants waited on the steep bank, unable to continue. Troopers and migrants spoke through the wire with troopers repeatedly shaking their heads in the negative. There appeared to be a far larger U.S. law enforcement presence at the crossing point where the previous afternoon at least a couple hundred migrants had crossed and picked their way through the wire.
