The Title 42 regulations freezing asylum applications to the United States are to end, prompting predictions there will be a surge in people hoping to enter the country at the Mexican border.

Seen from the Mexican side of the Rio Grande, US soldiers stand guard by the US-Mexico border as they wait for the expiration of Title 42, a set of pandemic-era border restrictions that have prevented virtually all asylum claims.

Tens of thousands of people are expected to make their case over the coming weeks, further inflaming America's already heated immigration debate.
