Title 42 expires tonight. Here's what happens next

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : Title 8 has continued to be used alongside Title 42 since the latter's introduction during the Covid-19 pandemic, with more than 1.15 million people apprehended at the southern border under Title 8 in fiscal year 2022, according to US Customs and Border Protection.
51% : Title 8 allows for migrants to seek asylum, which can be a lengthy and drawn out process that begins with a credible fear screening by asylum officers before migrants' cases progress through the immigration court system.
49% : That includes putting into place a new asylum rule that will largely bar migrants who passed through another country from seeking asylum in the US.
41% : If migrants are found ineligible for asylum, they could be removed through the speedy deportation process, known as "expedited removal," that would bar them from the US for five years.
39% : Title 42 allowed border authorities to swiftly turn away migrants encountered at the US-Mexico border, often depriving deprived migrants of the chance to claim asylum, and dramatically cutting down on border processing time.
38% : The rule, proposed earlier this year, will presume migrants are ineligible for asylum in the US if they didn't first seek refuge in a country they transited through, like Mexico, on the way to the border.
36% : Those who make subsequent attempts to enter the US could face criminal prosecution, DHS has said.
