While Title 42 has made crossing the US-Mexico border almost impossible for those seeking asylum, some are still making their way across. While opportunities are limited, this episode discusses the primary ways people experiencing forced displacement are able to migrate into the US across the southernmost border despite Title 42. This episode features Blake Davis from Global Response Management (GRM), Gabriella and Enrique. Blake discussed the ways in which humanitarian crossings work, and GRM's role in facilitating such crossings. Gabriella discussed her horrific experience of being expelled from the US by border patrol officials, and Enrique told of his harrowing experience sending his children across the border without him. This episode describes some of the challenges individuals face when faced with decisions on how and when to attempt to cross the border, while providing an overview of the few ways people are able to cross despite Title 42 barring entry to most seeking asylum across the US's southernmost border.
**Please note, these interviews took place in May and since then the Migrant Protection Protocols have been reinstated.
