The US Department of the Interior confirms that there has been no substantial increase in arrivals since Thursday. In El Paso, the head of the border guards, Raul Ortiz, also does not expect a wave of illegal immigration.

The new "Title 8" only allows migrants to enter the U.S. if another country has previously denied them asylum, or if they have made an appointment on the CBP One app to file their asylum claim, and only on that date. Those who try to enter without this sesame face five years of inadmissibility from the United States.
