The young girl died in U.S. Border Patrol custody after experiencing a "medical emergency," the agency said. The news underscores concern about the safety of migrants with Title 42 no longer in place.

The end of Title 42 has raised questions on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border about what will transpire in the months to come — both procedurally and politically.

The pandemic restrictions allowed for the quick expulsion of migrants at the border. Now that it's been lifted, some officials are expecting a record influx and an impending humanitarian crisis.

Mexican federal prosecutors say Francisco Garduño was remiss in not preventing the disaster in Ciudad Juárez last month despite earlier indications of problems at his agency's detention centers.

The boat sank over the weekend in the Mediterranean Sea between Tunisia and Italy. About 25 people were rescued. Thousands of migrants have reached Italy's tiny Lampedusa island in the past few days.

The Biden administration has very few options to deal with migrant families at the border when Title 42 lifts next month. It's likely to be one of President Biden's biggest challenges.

Three officials from Mexico's immigration agency, two private security guards and the migrant accused of starting the fire, which killed at least 39, face charges of homicide and causing injury.

Migrants say they are facing increased harassment and unabashed cruelty by local, state and federal authorities as permanent residents' general attitudes toward immigrants shift.

At least 39 migrants are dead following a fire Monday in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, just across the U.S. border. President Andrés Manuel López Obrador says the migrants started the fire out of despair.

Cuellar, a Texas Democrat, spoke with NPR about a Biden administration proposal to limit asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border. He says the number of arriving migrants is overwhelming local officials.
