A group of Republican House members traveled to the Texas-Mexico border and detailed the "emotional anguish" Border Patrol agents incur due to the rampant human trafficking and drug smuggling, while urging Democrats and President Biden to take action before Title 42 ends on May 23.

The group, led by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., toured the border Monday with agents who he said are "pushed to their limits." They pleaded to Biden and other House Democrats to extend Title 42, a public health order set to expire in 30 days that has been used since March 2020 to quickly expel a majority of migrants at the border due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
