Migrants on the U.S.-Mexico border endure cold temperatures​

Dallas, December 23 (RHC)-- In the U.S. state of Texas, humanitarian aid groups are preparing for freezing weekend temperatures as a growing number of asylum seekers continue to arrive from the U.S.-Mexico border. 

In El Paso, hundreds of asylum seekers have been forced to sleep on the streets after shelters reached capacity.  Others are still stuck in Mexico after the U.S. Supreme Court put a temporary hold on terminating the Trump-era Title 42 pandemic policy — used to block over 2 million people from entering the U.S. to seek asylum. 

Across the border, in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, hundreds of people waited in line despite plummeting temperatures, hoping they’d be allowed into the United States.
