Mexico cooperating with U.S. so no 'chaos' or violence at border as Title 42 ends - president

Mexico is cooperating with the United States so there is no chaos or violence on their shared border as U.S. COVID-19 restrictions - known as Title 42 - come to an end, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said Thursday.

The restrictions, which have blocked hundreds of thousands of migrants caught at the U.S.-Mexico border from seeking asylum since 2020, are set to end Thursday evening, leading to an expected jump in the number of migrants arriving at the border.

Lopez Obrador added authorities were working in the southwestern region to "protect" migrants.
