Border Patrol agents have been told to consider exempting Ukrainians who present themselves at the southern border from Title 42 restrictions that are being used to quickly expel migrants.

U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas gestures as he answers a question during a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs hearing to discuss security threats 20 years after the 9/11 attacks, in Washington, D.C., September 21, 2021.
