Latin America Association gears up to help an influx of migrants amid the expiration of Title 42

Santiago Marquez says he doesn’t think anyone is illegal — but there are people who are undocumented.

Marquez, who serves as the executive director of the Latin America Association (LAA), is preparing to help a possible influx of migrants relocating to Atlanta now that Title 42 has expired.

The pandemic-era policy established under the Trump administration was put in place to block migrants from seeking asylum in the U.S. during the COVID-19 pandemic. The controversial measure allowed authorities to quickly turn away migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border.
