A DHS official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the Dept. of Homeland Security began rolling out in El Paso, Texas, its policy of requiring asylum seekers to stay in Mexico while they await court hearings in their cases.
"I will soon introduce legislation to ensure no funds are provided for this misguided policy," said the congresswoman who represents the area.
The waits are now imposed on migrants trying to cross anywhere in the San Diego sector of the California-Mexico border. The administration plan drew an angry rebuke from U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar, D-Texas, who represents El Paso. The expansion comes as El Paso experiences a rise in the number of people stopped for trying to enter the U.S. without proper documentation. The apprehended migrants are processed and eventually released, which recently has inundated Annunciation House, a local non-profit, and its partners, that are scrambling to shelter them.
Many of these people, if they are unable to get on a bus departing the day of their release, will stay at Annunciation House until they can, usually not more than two or three days later.
