The Border in Photos
Tens of thousands of migrants are expected to attempt to enter the United States in the next few days, after a Covid-era immigration policy known as Title 42 expires late on Thursday. The policy allowed the rapid expulsion of migrants on public health grounds.
Most migrants crossing the border are adults traveling alone. Others travel in family groups, big or small, carrying children and whatever supplies or belongings they can hold. They muscle across rivers, lift one another through challenging terrain and often rely on the generosity of community groups for food and water.
New York Times photographers are documenting the experience on both sides of the border, from Tijuana on the West Coast to Matamoros near the Gulf of Mexico.
