Axios: Biden administration fearful of "mass migration event", set up war room operation

The Biden administration knows it has a looming “mass migration event” in the very near future when it ends the use of Title 42 at the southern border. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) quietly set up the Southwest Border Coordination Center (SBCC) to coordinate its response. Think of it as a war room to game out the coming flood of illegal migrants to the southern border.
I say that SBCC was quietly created because before the reporting today by Axios, the war room wasn’t reported on in the media. The reason for the nervous preparation for a mass event is because with the pandemic essentially ending, at least as far as government mandates go, Title 42 will soon end and illegal migrants won’t immediately be expelled because of public health policy. Implementation of Title 42 was recommended by the CDC to President Trump when the pandemic began. It allows Border Patrol agents to immediately expel illegal migrants without hearing asylum claims. Progressives and open border advocates have criticized Biden for keeping the policy in effect but it may be the one thing right that Sleepy Joe has done in handling the border crisis of his own making. Title 42 has been used more than a million times since it was put in place.
DHS is bracing for 170,000 migrants on the southern border when Title 42 ends.
