The United States has sent approximately 2,400 people – including Cubans, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans – back to Mexico since a contentious border policy known as Title 42 expired late last week, a US official has said.
The end of Title 42, which allowed US authorities to rapidly expel people crossing the country’s southern border under the pretext of protecting public health, late on Thursday coincided with a new policy that restricts access to asylum at the frontier.
