The US Embassy has issued a travel alert for hopeful holidaymakers wanting to cross into Mexico as the expiration of Covid era rule sends the border into chaos.
Thousands of migrants rushed to cross into the US before Title 42 rules expired at midnight last night. Families were seen trying to swim across the Rio Grande before picking their way through hastily erected barbed wire as US border guards turned back those they could.
The warning from the Embassy warned: "With the expected end of the Centers for Disease Control’s temporary Title 42 public order, at 11.59 pm EDT on May 11, land ports of entry along the U.S.-Mexico border may experience delays and disruptions.
