Last month, COVID-era Title 42 ended, allowing migrants to enter the U.S. again.
At this time, non-Mexican migrants have to apply for and be denied asylum in another country before trying to seek it in the United States. Migrants will also have to make an appointment on the CBP One app, The Herald reports.
A migrant who breaks the rules or does not follow them could be removed from the country and not allowed to enter the U.S. for at least five years, according to The Herald.
