US braces for increased migration as Title 42 lifts

The World
Migrants line up after being detained by US authorities at the US-Mexico border in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, Sunday, April 30, 2023.

Migrants from South America, Africa and Asia are crossing the Darien Gap between Colombia and Panama at record rates. As the US prepares to lift Title 42 on May 11, many migrants believe their chances of getting into the US will increase. And, early Tuesday morning, the Israeli army targeted senior leaders of the militant group, Islamic Jihad, in an operation it says killed three senior leaders in Gaza. Also, amid ongoing fighting in the Sudanese capital Khartoum, many are still trapped at home, with limited supplies. Neighborhood committees have formed to bring in food and water, and check on people’s welfare. Plus, legendary opera singer Grace Bumbry dies at the age of 86.
