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.
