In the weeks leading up to the end of Title 42, Fox News predictably reacted with fearmongering, xenophobia, renewed calls to close the border, and evocation of the “great replacement” theory.

The Trump-era policy that expelled migrants from the United States and effectively shut down the asylum system under the guise of containing the spread of COVID-19, came to an end on May 12.
