Thousands of illegal border crossers flooded El Paso over the weekend, with nearly 2,500 daily encounters and just eight days remaining before the pandemic-era expulsion policy, Title 42, comes to an end. Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz tweeted that agents encountered 16,000 migrants at the southern border in the last 48 hours. Officials are warning that the crisis will only get worse in the coming weeks, and that agents are bracing for chaos until Title 42 arrives on December 21 - just four days before Christmas. On Tuesday, Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is set to visit El Paso, Texas, to assess the situation, interact with the CBP workers, investigate activities, and speak with local officials and businesses.'
