Mayorkas has already witnessed the tens of thousands of illegal immigrants who have crossed this week and has described the situation as &#8220;very serious, challenging, and difficult.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Border Cities See Sharp Upticks in Illegal Crossings<\/h3>\n<p>Nearly 30,000 people have crossed the Rio Grande from Matamoros, Tamaulipas, in Mexico to get to U.S. soil in Brownsville over the past seven days. This sudden influx of mostly Venezuelans into Brownsville is unusual but not an anomaly. Other border cities, including El Paso, have seen sharp upticks in the number of illegal crossings and apprehensions, including some setting up makeshift camps on the U.S. side of the border as they wait to be taken into custody.<\/p>\n<h3>Challenges Ahead as Title 42 Expires<\/h3>\n<p>Mayorkas said these sudden rises are an indicator of what is to come May 11, when Title 42&#8217;s expiration means Border Patrol can no longer immediately turn away illegal immigrants. &#8220;I think there is no question that this is going to be extremely challenging,&#8221; Mayorkas said. &#8220;I do not want to underestimate the severity of the challenge that we expect to encounter.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Preparations Underway<\/h3>\n<p>Border Patrol&#8217;s Rio Grande Valley Chief Gloria Chavez said her staff responded quickly to the influx of immigrants that began in mid-April and stood up a series of tents near the border in an effort to keep people in shaded areas where agents could begin intake and processing while the immigrants awaited transportation to a nearby Border Patrol facility. The tent facility by the river has between 36 and 88 agents working at any one time, Chavez said.<\/p>\n<p>Mayorkas said his two-day visit to the Rio Grande Valley was meant to see how the government was prepared for next week and the days that follow. Earlier on Friday, the DHS announced that the Federal Emergency Management Agency would make $332 million available to nongovernmental groups that help illegal immigrants who have been allowed to remain in the United States. The funding is directed to 35 nonprofit organizations and local governments that are not on the border but rather are in places across the country where immigrants will travel.<\/p>\n<h3>Stay Informed<\/h3>\n<p>The situation at the southern border is rapidly evolving, and it&#8217;s important to stay informed.
