Migrants gathered on both sides of the border as a migration policy known as Title 42 was set to end. And if you're reading this on a Peloton (which is a terrible idea), hit the brakes. The company is recalling millions of its bikes. |
👋 Hello! Laura Davis here with Thursday's biggest news. |
More than two years after President Joe Biden started a court battle to end Title 42 − a law that has kept thousands of migrants out of the country − the border is at an inflection point. When Title 42 expires at 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, the Biden administration has promised to return to enforcing Title 8, the nation's immigration law. Legal provisions for asylum will be back in force, as will civil penalties for immigration violations and criminal prosecution for unlawful border crossings. Because a wave of migrants seeking to enter the U.S. are expected at the southwest border with the policy's end, the Pentagon is deploying 1,500 active-duty troops to help U.S. Customs and Border Patrol manage the expected surge. | Migrants who crossed the Rio Grande River try to go through as members of the US National Guard put a barbed-wire fence along the US-Mexico border river, as seen from Matamoros, state of Tamaulupas, Mexico.

COVID-19: National emergency no more |
It's the end of an era we'd probably rather forget. Thursday marks the end of the public health emergency in the U.S., more than three years after it was first declared to combat the novel coronavirus by unlocking powerful tools to detect and contain the emerging threat. But it ain't over 'til it's over. While the official end of the national emergency closes a chapter in history, health experts point out the COVID-19 pandemic is still quite active as the virus continues to claim about 1,000 lives each week. To date, more than 1.1 million people in the country have died. What it means for you. |

Peloton recalls 2.2M bikes |
Millions of Peloton bike users are suddenly in need of a new workout mantra. I'm no exercise instructor, but here's a suggestion: "Patience is a virtue." After receiving 35 reports of the seat post breaking, Peloton is recalling 2.2 million exercise bikes, the company announced Thursday. Thirteen reports of injuries, including a fractured wrist, lacerations and bruises, were reported to Peloton after the seat post detached from the original bike. People who own one of these bikes, which were sold from 2018 through 2023, should immediately stop using it and contact Peloton for a free repair.
