The city of Brownsville announced late Monday that Mayor John Cowen Jr. has been invited to the White House along with two other Rio Grande Valley mayors for a border-related announcement from President Joe Biden on Tuesday.
Biden is expected to announce an executive order restricting migrants’ ability to seek asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border. The Washington Post is reporting that the White House has told lawmakers that Biden will sign off on an executive order shutting off asylum requests at the U.S.-Mexico border once daily encounters reach 2,500, reopening the border only when the number falls to 1,500.
