Families eat dinner at Holy Family Church in El Paso. Immigration officials have been releasing hundreds of asylum-seeking migrants into border communities. Churches and shelters are standing by to help.
From KRWG:
Earlier this week President Donald Trump said his administration is no longer releasing migrants from custody. “We’re going to catch,” he said. “We’re not going to release.”
But that’s not what’s happening along the southwest border. Although overall apprehension numbers were down a bit last year, the number of migrant families apprehended there by immigration agents is reaching record numbers.
