Thousands of migrants are arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Many are hoping to benefit from President Biden’s pledge for a more compassionate immigration policy — and indeed, Border Patrol agents have already released hundreds of migrant families into the country. Above, a protest in Tijuana the day before Mr. Biden’s inauguration last month.
Migrants still hoping to enter from the Mexican side during the pandemic could create a backlash for Mr. Biden. They are trying to enter not just by land: Record numbers are risking everything on the open ocean.
Separately, Mr. Biden said he would bar Donald Trump from receiving the intelligence briefings traditionally given to former presidents, citing his “erratic behavior.”
