>>> Let's start with the big change coming down the pike.
Since 2020, a special policy has been in place allowing the U.S. Border officials to immediate
expel the migrants trying to get into the United States.
That policy is going away.
For weeks, the Biden administration has been preparing for a tidal wave of the migrants
once the policy lifts.
Rosa flores is in El Paso once again for us, and Rosa, you were able to ride along with
the National Guard to get a sense of what things are looking like, and what did you
see?
>> Well, Kate, just a lot of heartbreak and desperation.
I mean, there are hundreds of migrants who were huddled under blankets.
I talked to one family who said that their daughter couldn't stop shaking.
They were asking National Guard members if they could start a
[11:03:10 AM]
members if they could start a fire in this camp just to try to stay warm.
It was also dusty, so it is very difficult for the migrants trying to protect themselves
from all of the elements, including the dust which was very severe, and at the same time,
there were migrants who were crossing the constertino wire, and as we watched the border,
there were more individuals and a group who appeared to be trying to figure out how to
cross the border.
Now, from talking to some of the migrants, they were confused about the title 42, and
they didn't know what it was, and others said they wanted to cross before title 42 ended,
because they were told they believed and this is part of the misinformation that we have
been reporting on that they believed they would have a better opportunity before title
42 lifted.
So, a lot there.
Just a lot of heartbreaking
[11:04:11 AM]
Just a lot of heartbreaking stories.
A lot of the migrants are really hoping for opportunity in the United States, and they
see this border wall, and they see hope, because they believe they are that much closer to
getting into the United States.
Kate.
>> And still such a big uncertainty of what is going to happen after tonight, and that
is every single one of these numbers that you know and have been report on is a person
and family.
Rosa, thank you.
She has been there in El Paso, and she'll continue to report on this.
When title 42 ends tonight, the policy of the United States is going to return to the
decades' old section that lays ground rules for processing migrants, and it is called
title 8, and this is how it works, they are required to give the migrants a case to give
their case of asylum, and that is to give a reason why they left their country, and
why they fear
[11:05:13 AM]
country, and why they fear persecution if they go back.
If the official does not see enough there or they do not request asylum, they can be
deported back to their country.
People from certain countries including Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, they can be deported to
Mexico.
This is difference of the title 42.
If you were sent back under title 8 authority, you subject to multi-year ban from the United
States.
Listen to this.
>> Title 8 of the United States code, our traditional immigration authorities actually
deliver a consequence, because when somebody is removed, someone who does not qualify for
relief and is removed from the United States, they face and at least five-year bar from
admission into the united States, so the consequence is going to be more severe.
>> So there's that.
But now, if an immigration officer sees the credible claim for an immigration claim, that
[11:06:16 AM]
for an immigration claim, that is the claim that has to be proven in immigration court,
and they can stay in the united States in that process in long-term detention facility
or go with a commitment to attend all court hearings.
And granted, all of the claims that make it into the court, they are deny and there is
already a backlog of 2 million cases in the immigration court, John.
>> And as we said, the title 42 expires at midnight tonight, and the countdown is on,
and little more than 12 hours from now.
So what is going on at the white house with this deadline so fast approaching?
CNN's Priscilla Alvarez is there, and what are they doing there?
Are they war rooming?
What are they doing?
>> They are looking at the numbers, and they know white house officials and administration
officials know it is a challenge not just for days, but weeks.
[11:07:17 AM]
days, but weeks.
It is a challenge for two reasons.
One, the reason that you heard from Rosa, the humanitarian concerns, but also because
of the logistic, and this is not just going back to the decades' old protocol, but processing
people, an unprecedented number of people, and that going to be a severe bottleneck,
and getting enough people and transportation to deal with that.
That is removing some because of the legal consequences under title 8 that you heard
from Kate.
For those who are not removed and are being processed and for families for example that
is putting them on what is an alternative to detention which is a home curfew that we
were talking about earlier or a gps ankle monitor as they are working through the process.
Sot all of the measures taken together is what they are talking about in the building
behind me and the department of homeland security to manage the flow.
And of course, the politics of it all, and that is what president Biden knows he has
to navigate on a political
[11:08:17 AM]
navigate on a political vulnerability, and he was asked about this just yesterday.
Take a listen.
>> Well, we have chaos at the border for a number of years.
We have to fully fund the border security effort.
>> And that is really the bottom line, John.
The administration says they are doing all they can to deal with the unprecedented migration
from the western hemisphere, but it is ultimately on congress to pass the reform of what both
sides agree is outdated system.
>> Priscilla Alvarez, thank you for the reporting.
>>> A brand-new wrinkle as it comes to the end.
The supreme court just weighed in on an immigration case that would make it easier for non-u.s.
Citizens to challenge the removal orders in court.
Jessica Schneider is coming in with this new ruling coming in.
>> Yes, it is a flurry of opinions this morning.
[11:09:18 AM]
opinions this morning.
The first one is siding with this transgender woman from Guatemala, and she can continue
her fight in federal court.
She is arguing that she should not have been deported to Guatemala of the real threats
of sexual discrimination and assault.
She had lost her appeal before the immigration court, but now all to supreme court justices
are agreeing that she can challenge the case before the federal court.
Now, today, they upheld a California law enacted in 2018 that places the strict rules on the
pork that is sold in that state.
It is called proposition 12, and it allows pork sold from pigs raised in a humane way
which means they are raised in space where they are allowed to roam freely.
This is opposed by the pork produce ters if they side with the
[11:10:22 AM]
produce ters if they side with the activists.
But they say it does not collide with the laws enacted with the
