At points all along the U.S.-Mexico border on Friday, crowds of migrants clutching sacks of belongings or holding the hands of children waited to apply for asylum as new immigration rules took effect. And more people kept arriving.
A 3-year-old asylum restriction known as Title 42 ended, replaced by new regulations imposed by the Biden administration.
Many migrants on both sides of the border had been waiting for days. In San Diego, a woman holding a baby held up a wristband to a U.S. border guard to say she was among those waiting longest.
